Another Moment Later In The Day -- curiosity mostly
Five or six fire trucks, a police car, and two television
news helicopters (WJZ for sure; I think the other was WBAL
but I didn't get as clear a look at the logo) ... arrived,
circled, jostled -- then the helicopters abruptly flew away
and the firefighters looked like they were packing up. Huh.
I'll resort to guessing: a call that sounded sufficiently
high-stakes over the radio to get the telly news folks to
fly over my not-interesting-to-local-television neighbourhood,
but that the firefighters were relieved to discover was
something easily resolved once they arrived? Last I looked,
two fire trucks were left, one blocking Lombard St. They
never got as far as connecting the hoses they pulled out to
a hydrant.
