Today was a busy day for Station 31 with back-to-back fire boxes including one in our first due.  In total 8 calls were taken by the volunteers including a few medical calls and car accidents.  Below are some pictures from the 18-1 and the 31-24 firebox.

After several weeks of quiet Monday nights, Station 31 was hit for back to back calls. It started at 12:45 am with a report of an electrical fire in our first due to which Engine 311 responded (with Engine 19 and Truck 404). Fire was out upon arrival and units cleared shortly after.

Once we cleared we were hit at 1:02 am for 10-50 PI rollover on Red Run Blvd which was quickly upgraded to a 10-50 PI Rescue with entrapment. Baltimore County Police arrived first and confirmed entrapment followed quickly by Truck 404. Engine 19 arrived next and deployed a handline. Engine 311 arrived shortly after that and helped all the crews to extricate the patient from under the vehicle. Medic 19 transported the patient. After approximately an hour of work and cleanup Engine 311 cleared.

Today at 14:35 a firebox was put out for Richmar apartments with a report of smoke inside a vacant apartment. Company 31 along with surrounding stations arrived to find a small fire in the building which was extinguished. Equipment operated a little over an hour before clearing.

Today we passed the 2,000 mark for total number of suppression runs. We still have a month and a half and we could break 2,300 suppression calls this year.
