Bv the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, october 20. More
than 70 firemen were overcome by

Thirty of the firemen were taken TO

Several explosions. believed due to
gasoline, shook the neighborhood as the
flames swept the garage. Sulphur
fumes formed by burning batteries in
automobiles and trucks resulted in
many of the f1remen being overcome.
Gas masks were finally donned by fire
men working in the garage.
Persons living in the vicinity OF the
fire deserted their homes, many carry
ing household goods with them. Others
were ordered from their premises by
