At 0515 hours on Saturday March 1, 2014, 4 separate counties (Charles, Calvert, Saint Mary's & Prince George's) were alerted for the barn on fire at 17163 Teagues Point Road. The Engine Companies consisted of Benedict VFD (Charles Station 5), Hughesville (Charles Station 2), La Plata VFD (Charles Station 1) & Huntingtown VFD.
Engine 62 (4th due) responded 15 miles to the scene, arriving on location as the 3rd due Engine Company just minutes behind first arriving companies from Hughesville VFD & Benedict VFD. The crew from Engine 62 stretched a back-up line to assist with extinguishing the fully-involved barn while the Wagon Driver set up a draft for continuous Water Supply. Engine 62 remained on the scene until 0725 hours assisting with overhaul.
