| Saturday July 27, 2013 at 1558 hours, the Engine Company & Rescue Squad were alerted for the Working Townhouse Fire at 849 Calvert Towne Drive in Prince Frederick. Due to several crews being in quarters and this being a "Working House Fire" dispatch, the Huntingtown Volunteers immediately responded with 22 volunteers including the Fire Chief (Montgomery), Assistant Chief (Spriggs), Deputy Fire Chief (Riffe), Engine 61 (Capt Clark), Engine 62 (Robison), Rescue Squad (Miller) & Tanker (Morgal). First arriving units found smoke showing from a two-story duplex. Prince Frederick Engine 22 & Tower 2 stretched in, opening up the ceiling and making quick work of the fire in the attic. Engine 61 & Squad 6 reported to the D1 exposure, checking for extension. With the fire knocked down, Command held units from Company 2 & Company 6. Members from the Huntingtown VFD returned to service at 1636 hours. |
