West Baltimore rowhome house fire forced residents to evacuate as tire fire raged nearby

BALTIMORE -- A house fire overnight in West Baltimore, not two miles from a heavy tire shop fire, forced residents out of their homes early Friday morning as firefighters tackled the blaze. 

The fire, which reportedly happened around 1 a.m. on the 1800 block of McCulloh Street, was extinguished by 4 a.m. 

Crews told WJZ no injuries were reported. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, but officials say the fire was contained within that building. 

A resident who lived on the third floor of the rowhome told WJZ's Alexus Davila that her downstairs neighbor alerted her to the fire, allowing the residents of the apartment - two adults and two children - to evacuate along with the other neighbors.
