2014 – End of the year stats

A new year has begun and it is interesting to look through the stats from last years calls.  In all our station was called out for 1,696 calls which includes 1,193 for suppression (engine and/or squad) and 623 for EMS (ambulance).  This is almost 5 calls every day on average.

Our busiest time of the day for the ambulance was between 2pm and 3pm (118 calls) and for the suppression the busiest was between 6pm – 7pm (68 calls). The busiest day of the week was Fridays for ambulance and Wednesdays for suppression.

The call type most frequent for the ambulance was Sick Subject (which is very general) at 84 calls. The most frequent call type for the suppression side was Dwelling Fire (a house as opposed to a building or apartment) at 70 calls.

Our longest suppression call was 4 hours 23 minutes for a fire in Chestnut Ridge’s area in June and the second longest was 3 hours 17 minutes for a brush fire on Gores Mill Road in April.  The longest ambulance call was for 3 hours 6 minutes for a vehicle collision in December.

Obviously not all calls are long.  Our average time on a suppression call is 20 minutes. Our average time on an ambulance call is 41 minutes.  For the ambulance it is clear there are a significant number of calls that average around 20 minutes and another significant number of calls that average around 70 minutes.  The difference between the two appears to be whether the patient is transported to the hospital by 415 or not.

We are proud to serve our community…

Working fire in Glyndon

Last night we were alerted for two fires, the first was in Station 56’s area which turned out to be a grease fire that was already out.

Then around 3am E412, S414 and many surrounding companies were alerted for a dwelling fire on Worthington Avenue.  E412 arrived first and called smoke and fire showing and requested a working fire profile.  Crews from 41 pulled two handlines to attack the fire, and crews from S414 did search and lighting. Crews were on scene for approximately 3 hours.

Passing of member Bill Hennigan

It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of member Bill Hennigan.  He was a member of the company in the 1960s and then again starting in the late 1980s.  He is also the father of our current President Steve Hennigan and Grandfather to members Sherri Hennigan and Brittany Dubit.

Funeral Arrangements

The viewing will be at Elines Funeral Home (Reisterstown Rd at Franklin Blvd) on Friday October 31 from 3-5 and 7-9.

There will be a service on Saturday November 1 at the Covenant of Grace Presbyterian Church at 820 Nicodemus Road Reisterstown MD at 11 am.
