Carroll County Fire

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.

Brush Fire in Boring

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.

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.
