Crews have contained an apartment fire off Walker Avenue in Towson Tuesday afternoon, and the Red Cross is assisting families displaced by the blaze, according to officials.

At 12:51 p.m., firefighters were dispatched to an apartment fire in the 500 block of Castle Drive, according to Baltimore County public safety personnel.

By 1:01 p.m., crews reported the visible fire was contained and firefighters were checking to make sure the flames had not extended to other parts of the building.
