<p>The Baltimore City Fire Department responded "to a mass casualty incident involving multiple individuals exhibiting overdose symptoms" in the Penn-North neighborhood iThursday morning, the International Association of Fire Fighters' Baltimore unit said.</p>
<p>"This tragic event once again underscores the severity of the opioid crisis in Baltimore and the systemic strain it places on emergency services," the group said.</p>
<p>The Baltimore City Health Department said on Facebook it also responded to the overdose event. The department was distributing Naloxone, a medication that can reverse overdoses, throughout the neighborhood.</p>
<p>As many as 15 people were hospitalized, and five are in critical condition, Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace told NBC News affiliate WBAL-TV. He said the number is expected to change as other overdoses from the area are identified.</p>
<p>It was not immediately clear what the people overdosed on. Their conditions and identities were also not immediately clear.</p>
<p>Officials are still in the area to look for others who might be experiencing a medical emergency and are treating the area as an active crime scene, Deputy Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Jones said, according to WBAL.</p>
