Cause of Two-Alarm Condo Fire in Bel Air Under Investigation

BEL AIR, Md. (WJZ) -- State and federal agencies are investigating what led a three-story condominium building in Bel Air to go up in flames Tuesday evening.

Harford County Sheriff's deputies responding to the fire at the Brentwood Manor Condominiums, located on E. Jessicas Court, about 7 p.m. rescued a female resident as flames engulfed the building.

It took nearly 60 firefighters from nearby fire departments about an hour to bring the two-alarm fire under control, according to the State Fire Marshal's Office.

The American Red Cross is helping out a total of 11 families displaced by the fire, which caused roughly $1.2 million in damages.

Deputy State Fire Marshals and investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are trying to find out what sparked the blaze.
