This morning at 0108hrs, Engine 58 dispatched to assist Upper Frederick Fire Company on a working house fire on Krause Road. Engine 58 and Utility 58 responded with a total of 9 firefighters.
During interior firefighting operations two separate incidents occurred involving firefighters going thru the floor. The first involved a firefighter from 87 who was removed by his crew. The second involved a firefighter from 58 who went thru the floor and briefly became trapped between the floor joists resulting in a Mayday Task Force being dispatched by MCDPS. The firefighter was quickly freed, assisted into the basement, exited under his own power, and the Mayday Task Force was recalled. The firefighters in both incidents were checked and released by EMS on scene without injury.
Engine 58 operated as a tanker in the water shuttle operations hauling 3 loads of water. Crews were released after spending over 3 hours operating on scene. |
