Reinforcements Called
"Companies of firemen from near and far came to join the battle." - The Great Baltimore Fire by Peter B. Peterson
As the fire grew in size, Baltimore knew that reinforcements would be needed if they were to defeat the horrible fire. They decided to enlist the help of fire fighters from Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania to prevent the entire city of Baltimore from going up in smoke.
