A devastating fire in West Baltimore left a family of five homeless and in need of support. Monique Awkwaid, who had only been living in their rowhome for a month before it burned down, expressed her devastation at losing everything. The family was placed in a hotel temporarily, but they face uncertainty about where they will go next. Awkwaid is seeking help from the community for clothing, school supplies, and donations through their GoFundMe page. Despite the loss, she remains grateful that her family is safe.
The fire, which affected 15 homes and businesses, was brought under control after three hours. Windy and dry conditions in the area have elevated the risk for fires, with recent incidents in Baltimore County and this destructive fire in Baltimore City. Rowhome fires have been a recurring challenge for the city, with tragic incidents in recent years leading to casualties and displacements. The cause of this fire is still under investigation, but it serves as a reminder of the dangers and challenges posed by such incidents.
