Reisterstown Parade
This morning was the Reisterstown Parade. We pulled the apparatus out and washed it all. Just as the parade was starting S414 was dispatched for an overturned tractor-trailer in Carroll County. S414 went enroute up to the call and just as they arrived they were cleared off the call.
S414 made it back down to join E413 and SU418 for the parade.

Squad 414 went to the roof and other crews worked to put the fire out in the shop. Engine 412, Engine 413 and Squad 414 all worked at the fire for approximately an hour.
