Volunteers continue to stay busy, this time with an automobile fire on Midpines Court.
On Monday afternoon just as Truck 313 was returning from a firebox in Liberty Roads area, we were alerted for a 10-50PI Rollover on northbound 795, just a half mile north of the metro station. Truck 313 committed to the northbound lanes as dispatched so Engine 56 was the first unit to arrive on scene with 1 vehicle on its side and the other on its roof with multiple patients injured. The Truck arrived minutes later and assisted EMS crews with patient care. Photo courtesy of BCoPD
On Thursday morning just before 6 o’clock, Engine 312 was dispatched to respond with surrounding companies for the reported dwelling fire on Gwynnwest Road. The engine company responded on the call with 4 volunteers. Minutes later, Engine 412 from Reisterstown arrived on location to find smoke showing from an end of the group town house. Upon our arrival, an update was given by command stating that fire was showing from the basement. Engine 312′s crew was tasked with assisting E412 on the fire floor with extinguishment and commencing the primary search as well as checking for extension. Units operated on this incident for an hour and a half before returning to service.
Just after 1400 hrs on Tuesday July 12, Firebox 31-19 was alerted for the Apartment fire. Smoke was visible from Station 31 and dispatch advised they were receiving multiple calls. Engine 19 was on the air when they were picked up for the Firebox and were first on the scene advising heavy fire in multiple townhomes. Engine 312 arrived and secured 19′s water supply. Due to the extensive and advancing fire conditions an exterior attack was initially ordered and a second and third alarm was requested. Crews quickly worked to knock down the fire and ventilate the homes. Once the fire was knocked down, Truck 313 and additional crews completed the primary and secondary searches in all the units. Units continued to search for hot spots and wet down until it was deemed the fire was completely out. Crews operated on the scene for approx. 4 hours before returning to service.
