VIDEO: The cupola of a four-story building was fully involved in fire Thursday afternoon. SkyTeam 11 reported around 1 p.m. that firefighters were setting up a perimeter around the historic building at South Broadway and Eastern Avenue in the Fells Point area. City fire officials said firefighters were called around 12:45 p.m. to find the mixed-use building that contains a business on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors. Officials said firefighters had to use ladder trucks and deck guns to douse the flames. It took about 45 minutes to bring the fire under control. There was an initial concern about the structural integrity of the cupola due to extent of the fire, so firefighters cordoned off the surrounding area in case it collapsed, but it did not. Fire officials said no one was injured.
