HEY BALTIMORE FOLKS, wear an n95 mask/respirator if you're spending time outside tonight or tomorrow! There's a literal 5-alarm fire at a mattress warehouse in West Baltimore and the air is gonna be full of awful chemicals in the smoke from it - ThreadSky

That seems like not a great number of alarms

Yikes!

This thing has been burning all night!! Hope the rain helps put it out.

actualkatherine.bsky.social•1 day ago

And/or run air purifiers indoors if you smell smoke, esp. in West Balto

actualkatherine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hey at least the rain's presumably gonna help get this out of the air tomorrow... straight into the Bay

Having been not terribly far away from the Altadena fire in January, believe me, it’s better than the alternative where toxic dust sits around for weeks 😬 I hope they get it put out soon!

actualkatherine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah. Yikes. Thanks, me too!!

Yeah the air quality is supposedly fine rn, FYI. But the fire's still burning, so I'm still gonna be careful in west balto

starkissed.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Yeah, I assume the rain is helping the air quality. But ugh.

I have a handful of N95 masks if you need any.

actualkatherine.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Amtrak and Marc train service was suspended around 10:30 pm.
Here’s hoping that the morning trains are running on time on the Penn Line.

actualkatherine.bsky.social•1 day ago

They're cancelled https://bsky.app/profile/mtamarylandalerts.bsky.social/post/3lozlxteaep2g

Thank you for the heads up! At least I won’t be standing around Penn Station at 7:30 am staring at an arrivals board that says, “Cancelled” all the way down.

actualkatherine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah!!! I hope you can either stay home or safely get where you need to go in the morning 💛

stw.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fortunately, I can WFH. I just hope it’s cleared up by Thursday!

actualkatherine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeahhhhhhhh

This is why I have an air purifier at home! Got choked by the Australian bushfires in 2019-20 - months of smoke in my city, sometimes so dense you couldn’t even see across the road. My books off gassed for months afterwards, making my library room smell weirdly like bbq sauce.
