| Tuesday May 4, 2010 at 1405 hours, Chief 6 (Riffe), Chief 6B (Thrasher), Engine 61 (Nicholson) and Squad 6 (Rountree) were alerted for the house fire at 255 Buckler Road (218 box). Units arrived to find a two-story residence fully-involved as well as a trailer, barn, shed and woods threatened by fire. The Working Fire Dispatch was sounded bringing additional Huntingtown VFD crews including Engine 62 (Bobo), Tanker 6 (Williams) and Brush 6 (Safety Officer McKenny). Due to the amount of fire and pending collapse, 4 hoselines were positioned on all 4 sides of the house to eventually bring the fire under control. The Huntingtown Volunteers were able to remove and save 3 dogs from the fire. Units from the Huntingtown VFD operated until 1807 hours. Anne Arundel Engine 421 (Deale) and Tanker 1 (Riva) transferred to Huntingtown VFD during the incident. Command: Chief 2A, Operations: Chief 6 |
