This month is Fire Prevention month. Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company has been to several daycares to do public safety details in Reisterstown. As well, we are going to elementary and middle schools in our first due to do fire drills.

Early this morning a three vehicle MVC happened on Reisterstown Road in Owings Mills with one patient trapped. S414 responded and assisted with extrication of the patient from the vehicle.

Last night E412 and S414 went out in Reisterstown and did some foam and hose training. E412 is one of the few engines in the county that has a Compressed Air Foam System. We use CAFS as part of our standard operating procedures as it has many advantages over plain water. It performs a faster knock down and absorbs more heat with less water. This will limit property damage and increase firefighter safety.
The foam is essentially dish soap and the picnic table was washed off before we left.
Tonight we were invited down to Owings Mills (31) for dinner and games. We had E412, E413, S414, SU418 and M415 all go down. OM had an amazing spread including hamburgers, hotdogs and many other salads and chips. After supper we played a game of kickball on the front apron. We want to thank 31 for the invite and we look forward to invite you up the road soon.
A car accident came came out in Glyndon’s area for a car into a tree. S414 arrived to find a vehicle into a tree. Apparatus on scene extricated the patient and they were transported to the hospital.
This video was made for our 100th Anniversary.
Many thanks to FF/EMT Larry Smart for the devotion to making this great memorial.
