MORE FIRE, ENGINE COMPANY (WAGON/PUMPER) AND DEPUTY CHIEF 33 ON ANOTHER HIGHLAND PARK FIRE: 917 HILL ROAD
Wednesday, July 7, 2010

At 2118 hours, the box alarm was transmitted for the house on fire at 917 Hill Road in Highland Park, Maryland. Engine Company 33, due as the 3rd and 4th Engine Companies responded on the run along with Chief 33A. The nine volunteers arrived as the initial units to find smoke showing from a detached home. The wagon crew laid a supply line in, stretched the front bumper pre-connect and found smoke on the first floor. The pumper crew secured the wagons water supply and stretched the 400-foot pre-connect to back-up the wagon crew. Upon further investigation it was found that fire was burning underneath the first floor in the crawl space area. The pumper crew re-directed their line to that location and the wagon crew maintained the first floor. The fire was quickly extinguished and crews spent the next several minutes opening up the fire area. Chief 33A had the "Hill Road" Command and scaled the incident back within 15 minutes and the volunteers from Kentland returned to service within 50 minutes.
