Baltimore Battles Massive Wind-Driven Fire in Woodberry
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Baltimore Banner
Camp Small, a Baltimore lumberyard known for transforming urban forestry by repurposing felled city trees into valuable lumber, was severely damaged by a massive fire. The site, which had become a model for zero-waste lumber milling and a resource for local artisans, is now uncertain about its future. The fire has left the community of wood craftsmen concerned about the availability of quality lumber, as Camp Small was a unique source for large slabs of hardwood like ash and oak.
