Engine Operations Training

Tonight we trained on engine operations.  We pulled two 1 3/4″ attack lines (first lines we would take into a house or building that is on fire) and practiced patterns against the building.  We then pulled the blitz fire (high water flow nozzle). And finally we went raised and lowered ladders against a 20′ building.  We have several new members and this type of training is great for them but is also great for the more seasoned members too.

Two vehicle collision with one person trapped

This morning there was a two vehicle collision with one person heavily trapped.  S414 along with many other units were dispatched to the scene in Chestnut Ridge’s area.  Engine 501 was first arriving and advised there was one person heavily trapped in the vehicle and requested a helicopter for transport to Shock Trauma once the patient was extricated.  Crews from Squad 414, Squad 322, Truck 404, Engine 19 and Engine 501 all worked together to gain access to the patient.  This required numerous tools off of Squad 414 and many people.  After about 15 minutes of work we were able to extricate the patient who was then taken by ambulance to the landing zone for the helicopter.

Rollover with rescue

On Friday Station 41 units (E412 and S414) were alerted for an MVC with rollover. Almost immediately dispatch upgraded it to a rescue (person trapped in the vehicle). The engine and squad responded along with other area apparatus. Police were on scene very quickly and advised that people on scene were able to help the driver out of the vehicle. Company 41 equipment waited on scene for about 15 minutes for the medic crew to check out the occupants.

Morning Rescue, Busy Night in the County

This morning around 7am Reisterstown along with surrounding companies were alerted for an MVC with patients trapped in Franklin’s district.  S414 went enroute.  Reports were of 1 person trapped but E56 was able to extricate the patient just as S414 arrived.  Several were transported to the hospital.

This was after a busy night in the county with 3 working fires (2 of them 2-alarm) and a working rescue.  One of the working fires was on the West side which stretched resources.  E412 was dispatched on a medical call to Station 18’s area but was cleared upon arrival.  E412 was then transferred to Station 18 to cover the area. In all we were there approximately 90 minutes before returning to Reisterstown.
