Grand Avenue [5-20-10]

Around 08:30 hours on Thursday, May 20th the Baldwin Fire Department was dispatched to a building fire on Grand Avenue, just south of fire headquarters. Upon arrival, the Baldwin Chief confirmed the working fire, and soon after requests for mutual aids were placed. The fire took place in a building that previously had a fire late last year, and was still boarded up in some sections. This fast moving fire took well over an hour to bring under control, and at least one firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation/exhaustion. This Thursday morning fire was the third working fire that the Baldwin Fire Department has been dispatched to this month.
