DUNDALK — A known vacant home is under investigation after it caught fire on Saturday, August 20, 2022.

According to Baltimore County Fire Department, the call came in for a fire in the 7000 block of Brentwood Avenue in Dundalk at 6:30 p.m.

When firefighters arrived, the structure was well engulfed in flames. Crews attacked the fire and the fire was extinguished soon after.

"Fire was shooting out the top. Cool thing was watching the firemen actually cut through the ceiling because the fire was so bad. That's what they had to do. But, I don't know how it started," said Jimmy Traynor, a neighbor.

There were no injuries to firefighters or civilians.

The fire is under investigation of the FID (Fire Investigation Division)
