| On Saturday November 25, 2006 at 0846 hours, Chief 6 (Osbourn), Engine 61 (Cox, C) and Squad 6 (Lt Montgomery) were alerted to 115 Prospect Drive. Company 6 units arrived to find a commercial building with nothing evident. Units found an alarm malfunction and as they were beginning to clear, Communications contacted Chief 6 advising of a first-due house fire about to be dispatched.
At 0857 hours, Box 621 was struck for the house fire at 3081 Mayberry Avenue bringing Company 6 and surrounding mutual aid units. With Chief 6, Engine 61, and Squad 6 already in route, three additional crews from Huntingtown quickly hit the street bringing Engine 62 (Chief 6A, Riffe), Tanker 6 (Hardesty), and Ambulance 68 (Gadway, J). Within one minute, Engine 62 arrived to find a single-story home with smoke showing from all sides. A neighbor outside advised of a fire in the basement. The crew from Engine 62 quickly deployed the 200' attack line to the rear and were greeted with thick black smoke. However, upon further investigation, a malfunctioning furnace was found. With E-62 in the basement, the crew from Engine 61 advanced an attack line to the 1st floor checking for extension (negative) while the Squad crew set up PPV at the front door. Units cleared at 0937 hours. Chief 6 held the Command with Chief 6A as Interior.
After responding on three more runs, the Huntingtown Volunteers along with the Medic Unit were alerted at 1154 hours for the subject with a nail impaled into his leg stuck on the roof of a house. Due to this information, Prince Frederick Tower 2 (Lt Deale) was added to the run. Chief 6 (Osbourn), Chief 6A (Riffe), Captain 6 (Patin), Safety Officer 6 (Bowen, S), Squad 6 (Sgt Nasti), and Ambulance 68 (Gadway, J) quickly responded. Captain 6 arrived first on location, reporting the same and established command. Two members deployed into harnesses and made their way to the roof to assess the patient. A 3" nail was accidentally shot into the victim's leg from a nail gun. The stokes basket was utilized and the patient was loaded into the bucket of Tower 2 for removal. The patient was then transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital. Units cleared at 1310 hours.
