Fairfax County (VA) firefighters responded to the report of a townhouse on fire Monday morning (11/10/14) in the Herndon/Frying Pan area.  On arrival with smoke and fire showing from the 3rd floor level of the townhouse complex, BC401 quickly upgraded the call to a 2nd alarm bringing in RIT Level 1 and other support resources.  Loudon County provided mutual aid.  Firefighters attacked the fire using aerial and tower ladders.

Extensive overhaul took place due to firefighters having to chase active fire and hot spots remaining in the attic crawl spaces.

Full rundown of units is provided thanks to the Northern Virginia Fire Buffs FB page:

1st alarm was E436 E404 E425 E438 TL436 T425 R401, M436, EMS401, EMS403, BC401, BC403, SAF402, and then RIT Level 1 was E415, E417, TL440, HM440, HMS440, M415, BC603, SAF401…and then 2nd alarm was E440, E442, E431, E429, T429, M412, LA436, CAN402, REHAB413, R421, CAN417, TL302

HazMat incident in Bethesda, MD – September 15, 2014

Montgomery County Fire & Rescue units from the 2nd Battalion and NIH (National Institutes of Health) company 51 responded to the HazMat incident/leaking propane tank on Fairfax Road in Bethesda on Monday.  Due to the explosive danger from the leak, evacuations of the surrounding neighborhood were ordered by the commanding officers.  The BCCRS (Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue Squad) Rescue 1 team initiated the evacuation of residents on Fairfax Road leading the residents out of the hot zone to a safe location.  Buses were brought in as well as EMS units to provide refreshments and aid to the evacuated residents.

HazMat 707’s crew worked to mitigate the leak by flaring/burning off the propane throughout the afternoon.  The entire incident lasted approximately 5-6 hours.

Here are some photos from the initial evacuation and showing HazMat 707’s crew taking necessary gear off the rig to walk-in to the hot zone.
