Last night around 11pm a report of a multi-vehicle collision on the 795. S414 along with other units. Three ALS ambulances were requested along with a Trooper helicopter.

Last night around 10pm, S414 along with E312, T18 and several medic units were dispatched for a report of a person trapped under a car. Going down the road, command (E312) updated the scene and a plan was formulated in discussion with S414. S414 and SU418 arrived to find a single person completely underneath a car. Air bags were deployed along with cribbing and step chalks in order to lift the car off of the person. 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. E413 arrived near the back of the line of engines and the crew went up to get an assignment from command. E413 waited while the crews inside were working then when some crews exited, E413’s crew was instructed to go to the second floor and look for any remaining fire and to overhaul. E413 remained on scene for approximately 90 minutes before returning to the Reisterstown area.

Last night around 6pm Reisterstown got a call for a car with a tree on top and with someone possibly trapped inside. S414, E413, SU418 and several other apparatus from surrounding companies were dispatched. S414 arrived first to find a single vehicle that had run into a tree that was across the road. The driver was not trapped and was safely inside a passer-by’s car.

Tonight around 6pm, again, Reisterstown got a call for a car with a tree on top and with someone possibly trapped. S414, E413 and U419 were dispatched along with surrounding companies to Dover Road in Upperco’s area. E852 arrived first and had a car on the side of a hill that had been side-swiped by a downed tree. S414 and others extricated the patient. The patient was transported to the old Boring Firehouse and was flown out by Trooper 1. E413 handled the landing zone for the helicopter.

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.

Last night at approximately 8:30pm Reisterstown was alerted for an MVC on Hanover Pike near Kemp Road. SU418 called enroute and just pulled out of the station when it was upgraded to an MVC with one trapped. Other volunteers in the area came down and brought Engine 412 and 413 as well.  Crews found two vehicles 100 yards apart and one of them was up on the guard rail. It took crews approximately 10 minutes to extricate the patient from the vehicle who was then transported by ambulance to Shock Trauma. Crews were in service approximately 45 minutes after dispatch.

This morning around 7am, RVFC was alerted for a three vehicle MVC with one person trapped. A415, SU418 and E413 arrived to find a 3 vehicles involved. One vehicle was significantly damaged but thankfully the driver was not trapped in the vehicle. Crews worked on the patient on-scene and then transported to the trauma center.

Sunday was a busy day for RVFC. There were 4 (local) calls in the morning and then around 2pm E413 was alerted for a house fire in Carroll County.  We were 3rd arriving engine.  The crew from E413 pulled the second handline off of Engine 33 and took it in to the second floor to extinguish the fire on division 2.  First arriving engines pulled a handline and went in to division 1 to extinguish the fire there.  There was heavy fire throughout the whole structure and it took almost an hour to fully extinguish the fire. E413 driver assisted with water supply along with engines from Carroll County and E401, E503 and E56 from Baltimore County. E413 remained on scene for approximately 3 hours assisting with overhaul as well.

On Sunday morning RVFC was alerted for an MVC with no one injured.  Then just as S414 was pulling out it was upgraded to an MVC with injuries and so M415 was alerted.  M415 and S414 arrived to find a two vehicle MVC with one vehicle up onto the grass with one person trapped inside.  S414 requested a rescue assignment which alerted the battalion chief, district EMS officer and Engine 852 (who was filling in at Station 56). S414 removed the side door and was able to extricate the patient.  One was transported to the hospital.

At around 1300 hours on March 20th E412 was alerted to respond mutual aid to Carroll County for a reported house fire with multiple calls. E412 arrived seconds behind the first arriving engine with fire showing from the first and second floors. After receiving reports of the dwelling being occupied E412’s crew was assigned primary search of the first and second floors, all searches negative. Multiple other companies, including E413, were dispatched to help out due to the severity of the fire.  Crews then assisted with extinguishment and overhaul. E412 operated for approximately 2 hours before returning to service.
