A newly constructed senior home sponsored by a church is burning in east Baltimore. The three-alarm blaze is not related to the violent protests that erupted across the city earlier today, according to a fire department spokesman who spoke with the Washington Post.

The fire raging through the reportedly vacant building is apparently so large it can currently be seen all over Baltimore.

ABC reports that local fire crews are currently responding to at least four separate fires.
