BALTIMORE — One person is dead following a three-alarm fire in Southwest Baltimore.

Just before 3 p.m. on Saturday, fire crews responded to the 2100 block of Ramsay Street for a report of a row home fire.

As the fire intensified, it spread to three other homes.

Officials say they pulled one unconscious man from the home, suffering from a cardiac arrest.

That person was treated at the scene and was later placed in critical condition.

According to fire officials, the man died early Sunday morning. They believe he died due to his injuries from the fire. The official cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
