Reisterstown Lumber Fire

Very early this morning E413 was alerted for a fire alarm at Reisterstown Lumber. The crew arrived to find one building starting to erupt in fire. The engine called for a fire box and pulled handlines off to begin knock down. In the end the fire went to a second alarm due to the potential with all the lumber and equipment.
The fire was placed under control approximately an hour later and crews remained on scene for overhaul.

Grain Bin Training

Tonight E413 and S414 went to Upperco for training on grain bin emergency. A large prop was brought in to simulate someone stuck in a grain bin and the firefighters were taught how to extricate someone from it safely. Many thanks to Upperco for hosting!

Horse Rescue

Yesterday afternoon Butler Volunteers, Reisterstown and the Baltimore County USAR team were alerted for a horse rescue. A horse had fallen down a slight embankment into a spring and was not able to get up. S414 and two units from Butler arrived and assessed the situation. Given the size of the horse and the need to be careful we awaited the county USAR team as we would have more people and equipment for the rescue. When they arrived we were able to get large straps under the horse’s belly and use a tractor to very carefully lift and pull the horse from the spring. Once it was on more stable ground it was able to get up. The horse was uninjured and walked away to eat some grass.
