Baltimore, MD - Dec. 6, 2024  - (WBAL) A massive fire at Camp Small, a wood waste yard in Woodberry, has shut down I-83 between Northern Parkway and Druid Park Lake Drive, along with portions of Coldspring Lane and Druid Park Lake Drive. Light Rail service is also suspended to protect tracks. Fire crews, in "defense mode" since the fire began at 5:15 p.m., are battling intense flames, wind-blown embers, and collapsing wood piles using elevated water streams. Nearby areas, including the Falls Road corridor, have experienced small secondary fires. Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Western High School will have a two-hour delay on Friday. Over a dozen fire companies are actively combating the blaze.
