Hose Test and Fireboxes

Station 41 had a busy night tonight.  We started out testing hose on the Engines as part of standard safety tests.  During our hose tests S414 and E412 handled a firebox in Glyndon’s area (which ended up being a light smoke from a lawnmower entering a house). About 30 minutes after returning to service S414 got a call for a local firebox in 56’s area.  We were arrived and staged and then was cleared.

Dwelling Fire on St. Paul Ave.

Tonight at approximately 6:30p a firebox came out for dwelling fire on St Paul Ave in Glyndon.  Reisterstown’s Engine 412 and Squad 414 arrived shortly after Engine 401 and setup for a fire attack with a 1 3/4″ handline.  Two off the engine went the front door, through the house to keep the fire from spreading in the house.  The squad’s crew went to division 2 to open the walls up to stop fire getting into the house.  All crews remained on-scene for approximately 2 hours and then returned to service.
