Vehicle Fire and Possible Stolen Vehicle on I-695 Interloop, Baltimore County

Summary: Baltimore County Fire and EMS responded to a vehicle fire on the interloop of I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) between exits 15 and 16, near the triple bridges and just past exit 50. The incident involved a vehicle with no driver present, no tags, and possible indications of being stolen. Multiple fire engines, trucks, and ambulance units were dispatched. Coordination with state police and county police was required due to jurisdictional questions and the need for a fire investigator. The situation was complicated by a concurrent accident on the opposite side of the Beltway, causing delays in response. Ultimately, it was determined that the State Police would handle the investigation if necessary, as the county fire investigator was not dispatched. One person was transported with priority three injuries. The incident required traffic management and scene safety measures.
