Just after 6pm on Tuesday June 28th units from Glyndon, Reisterstown, Chestnut Ridge, and Franklin fire stations were alerted for a motor vehicle accident with entrapment.  Upon arrival, units found a 2 vehicle accident with one person trapped.  Crews extricated the occupants and transported to local hospitals.

Today SU418 went on a roll over on route 30.  One patient was in the vehicle upon arrival and crews took the patient out of the vehicle and transported her to the Trooper (MSP helicopter) to be transported to the hospital.

Carroll County had a townhouse fire last night in which the rear of the building was fully involved upon their arrival. They quickly called for a second alarm in which E412 was requested based on our mutual aid agreement.  We arrived and aided crews with fire attack.  We were on scene for about an hour and helped pack up hoses for the first in companies.

E412 and S414 were alerted for five tractor trailers on fire in Carroll County.  E412 arrived 3rd and pulled two handlines.  Crews were on scene for approximately 4 hours before the fire was fully extinguished and overhaul completed.

On Saturday February 20th, Reisterstown assisted the Boring VFC with a brush fire on Old Hanover Road.  When units arrived they found a ground cover fire in a Alpaca pen. The crew from Engine 412 used one Compressed Air Foam hand to assist Engine 422 and Brush 428.

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.

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.

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.

Pictures from this morning’s rescue:

Early this morning we were alerted for a house fire in the Randallstown area.  Our squad was due along with numerous other engines and trucks in the area.  First arriving engine found a house with fire in the basement and roof.  The crews made an aggressive attack including the crews from our squad.  The squad was on scene for approximately an hour before being released.

Early this morning Truck 404 and Squad 414 were alerted for a working house fire in Westminster.  Squad 414 went enroute with 4 members to the house fire.  We arrived and were immediately cleared.  Carroll dispatch requested we fill in at Carroll Station 3 (Westminster) until their crews were cleared of the house fire.  In all we were at Station 3 for approximately 1 hour.
