Today just before noon a single vehicle hit a telephone pole. Engine 412 had just cleared a medical call and was already on the road. E412 and M19 were dispatched for a motor vehicle collision.

Crews from 41 and 31 worked together along with medic crews to do it as efficiently and safely as possible.

Very early this morning E413 was dispatched on a working house fire in Butler’s area. Numerous engines were requested as it was a non-hydranted area.

Engine 412 along with several other units in Baltimore County were alerted for a barn fire early this afternoon. E412 arrived and helped setup water supply as there were multiple engines already at the barn. E412 supplied water it received from Carroll County units. Once the fire was suppressed E412 was requested to go down to the location in order to use foam to completely cover what was left of the barn. Foam enables the water to soak into the burning material which cools and reduces access to oxygen. Units cleared around 4:30pm.
