WASHINGTON — Fire crews in Baltimore battled a four-alarm fire at a 150-year-old Fells Point paint shop Friday morning.

The Baltimore City Fire Department responded to Budeke’s Paints on the 400 block of South Broadway around 3 a.m. The blaze escalated from a three-alarm fire to a four-alarm incident.

The fire was contained as of 8 a.m., Baltimore City Fire Chief Roman Clark told WTOP, but firefighters were still at the scene hours later. About 100 firefighters responded to the fire.
