Tuesday June 22, 2014 at 1654 hours, units from Calvert, Anne Arundel & Prince George's County were alerted for the barn fire at 12440 Uncle Charlies Spur (512 box). The assignment brought the Huntingtown VFD Fire Chief (Spriggs), Assistant Chief (Morris), Deputy Fire Chief (Clark), Fire Captain (Riffe), Rescue Squad (Sgt Miller) & Tanker (Curtis) to the fireground with 11 members. First arriving units from the Dunkirk VFD found a fully-involved 40' X 20' barn that was beginning to burn the side of the house less than 10 feet away. Due to aggressive work, the fire was quickly knocked down. Additional crews opened up the affected side of the house and ran the TIC through the interior checking for further extension. The Huntingtown Volunteers operated on the scene until 1730 hours.
With two crews & several officers operating on the fireground, two additional crews remained in quarters. Ambulance 69 responded on a traffic accident & Engine 62 transferred to Dunkirk VFD. A total of 19 Huntingtown Volunteers operated on the above incidents.
