Motor vehicle flipped over on Westminster Pike
Just after 5pm today a fire was reported in Owings Mills’s area and Engine 413 responded to that. Several minutes later a report of a motor vehicle accident with rescue was put out for Westminster Pike near Gores Mill road. Squad 414 responded along with Special Unit 418, Engine 401, Tower 323 and Medic 56. One patient was found 40 feet down from the vehicle with only minor injuries. The ambulance checked him out and was taken to the hospital by private vehicle.

National Night Out

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.
Ladder Training
While Engine 413 was at pump test, Engine 412, Rescue Squad 414 and Special Unit 418 went to a nearby complex for ladder training.
