Beach Avenue Fire in Dundalk Ruled Arson

Investigators have determined that a fire in Dundalk's Rosewald Beach neighborhood on March 19 was an arson, Baltimore County police spokeswoman Cathy Batton said.

On March 19, crews were dispatched to a fire reported on the 8200 block of Beach Drive, according to Batton.

A BGE employee was conducting a service call at a vacant home around 12:45 p.m. when he noticed that a rear sliding glass door was open and that there was smoke coming from the fireplace, Baltimore County police said.

"Detectives determined the fire was intentionally set, but no charges have been filed at this time," Batton said.
