The Baltimore City Fire Department on Thursday extinguished a fire at the corner of South Broadway and Eastern Avenue in Fells Point.

Video captured by WBAL-TV showed bright orange flames coming from the top of the building, along with heavy black smoke. The smoke and fire could be seen from the Inner Harbor. The fire appeared to be centered in a turret or tower at the top of the building, which houses a liquor store on the ground level.

This is a developing story.
