An early morning fire
has heavily damaged the main building at the former Henryton Hospital Center in
Marriottsville.
The blaze was
initially reported as an investigation of smoke in the area at approximately
4:15 am. Responding crews discovered the fire at Henryton and immediately
upgraded the incident to a box alarm.
Crews discovered heavy
fire in the portion of the main building where the old theater was located. Two
tanker task forces and the rapid intervention dispatch were requested, bringing
crews from neighboring companies in Carroll, Baltimore and Howard counties.
Approximately 75-80 firefighters were reported on the scene by the incident
commander.
It took approximately
three and a half hours to bring the fire under control. There were no injuries
in the fire.
The hospital grounds
have been the scene of many suspicious fires in recent years, including several
in the theater section of the main building. There are no utilities to the
building. The cause of this fire has not been determined.
Sykesville fire
officials are urgently requesting state officials to address the dangerous
situation at Henryton, preferably by razing the buildings to avoid future
fires, or even worse, injuries or deaths.
