The fire was reported shortly before 11 a.m.
Fire crews put out a car fire in a garage under the Baltimore County Detention Center Sunday morning.

A Catonsville-based program works with dads at the Baltimore County Detention Center in Towson.
For the past eight weeks, several inmates at the Baltimore County Detention Center in Towson have been carrying around their favorite books, with titles like Green Eggs and Ham and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The inmates devour the books, sometimes over and over, though they'll gladly part with the best-loved ones. They've been reading the books to their children and will make gifts of the books at the end of the program in which they are participating. It's the nonprofit Turning Pages Family Reading Club, which promotes family reading in correctional facilities. The program was started by Catonsville resident Flo Kennedy-Stack, who comes every Wednesday to the detention center with a group of volunteers. During the sessions, …
