| 26 minutes after midnight on Saturday November 22, 2014, St Leonard VFD Engine 71 & Squad 7, Prince Frederick VFD Engine 21 & Tower 2, Solomons VFD Engine 31 & Tanker 3 & Huntingtown VFD Engine 62 & Tanker 6 were alerted for Smoke In The House at 4225 Hidden Creek Road. The Huntingtown VFD Assistant Chief, "6A" (Morris), Engine 62 (Gaylor) & Tanker 6 (Cook) responded with 8 Volunteers. First arriving units reported smoke showing from a one-story wood-frame house. Seconds later, the OIC, upon completing his 360 walk around, reported heavy fire showing from rear.
Engine 62 (4th due) was the 3rd arriving Engine Company and completed multiple tasks. The crew threw several ladders to all sides of the residence. Once completed, with fire showing from the gable vent of Side Delta, the crew manned an attack line extinguishing all remaining fire. Next, the crew cut a large hole in the same side of the house, opening up the attic and wetting down all hot spots. The crew remained on the fireground the remainder of the incident assisting with overhaul. Tanker 6 supplied Engine 21 during the incident and Chief 6A handled Water Supply.
Units from the Huntingtown VFD operated on the scene with temperatures in the low 20's until 0157 hours. |
