Three-story house partially collapses in Glen Arm fire

no injuries reported

A three-story frame house partially collapsed during a one-alarm fire last night in Glen Arm in northeast Baltimore County, but fire officials reported no injuries.

Neighbors reported the fire at 6: 39 p.m. at a house in the 12000 block of Glen Arm Road, said acting Lt. Tim Robinson of the Baltimore County Fire Department.

Battalion Chief Mark Hubbard said he wasn't sure whether the homeowner was at home when the fire started, but she was staying with a neighbor afterward.

"There was heavy fire on the rear of the house , and the fire was raging on the first and third floor," Hubbard said.

Robinson said firefighters had difficulty "because all the water's freezing, and they're up on a hill."
