Baltimore, MD - May 12, 2025 - Crews are battling a 6-alarm fire in West Baltimore that broke out just before 7 p.m. Monday, according to a Baltimore City fire spokesperson.
The fire is at a multi-story mattress warehouse at North Bentalou Street and Edmondson Avenue, according to Baltimore City fire.
Some people in the 600 block of Bentalou Street will be relocated and placed in a fire station to make it easier to battle the fire, Baltimore City Fire Chief James Wallace said. The Red Cross has been requested, Wallace said.
Wallace said at 9:40 p.m. that it is still a very active situation. Wallace said there are multiple levels to the warehouse below ground, making it difficult to access.
Wallace said the fire is not under control, and that one part of the building stores a large number of mattresses.
"This has become a bigger city operation now," Wallace said.
