Volunteer Firefighters Assist in Extinguishing Gunpowder Falls Fire

A forest fire broke out in Gunpowder Falls State Park near the Harford County line, covering approximately one acre. The fire started in the area of the Little Gunpowder River between Harford Road and Belair Road on the Baltimore County side.

Firefighters faced challenges due to the windy conditions and requested additional resources including fire department ATVs, a helicopter with a bambi bucket, and a drone for aerial support.

Thankfully, by early afternoon, most of the fire had been extinguished, with a small fire near Belair Road quickly contained. Volunteer firefighters from multiple departments provided assistance in battling the blaze.

Henderson Shines in His Rookie Season with the Orioles

Baltimore Orioles rookie shortstop, Gunnar Henderson, has been named the MLBPA AL Outstanding Rookie, as the MLB offseason begins after the Texas Rangers' World Series victory. Unlike the AL Rookie of the Year award, which is voted on by the media, the MLBPA Outstanding Rookie is chosen by MLB players. This award has closely aligned with the BBWAA Rookie of the Year throughout its history.

Henderson had an impressive season, with a .255 batting average and 28 home runs. He also recorded 29 doubles and stole 10 bases. What set him apart was his 4.6 WAR, the highest among all AL rookies. Oakland's Zack Gelof followed with a distant second place, earning a 2.9 WAR.

If Henderson wins the prestigious BBWAA AL Rookie of the Year award, he will become the seventh Oriole to achieve this honor and the first since 1989. His contributions were instrumental in helping the Orioles secure 101 wins for the season, marking their first time surpassing 100 wins since 1980. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the Texas Rangers in a sweep during the ALDS.
