Montgomery County, NIST, Howard County, Carroll County, and Frederick County units responded to a 50+ acre brush and woods fire on Tuesday (3/31/15) near Damascus Road in Laytonsville, MD. Wind hampered initial efforts to contain the blaze, but firefighters worked hard to gain control and surround the fire preventing it from spreading further. Multiple brush trucks, engine tankers, large capacity tankers, and assorted other apparatus including forestry trucks and tractors worked in tandem on the scene. Company 717 (Laytonsville) worked all of their first line units on the fireground. Fill & dump sites for tankers were established and the brush units filled up at these water supply areas, and then proceeded into the fire zone.
Here are some photos I took from the Halterman Road water supply zone, established in a neighboring farm/cornfield, adjacent to the fire zone.

01-05-2015 Greenleaf, WI firefighters were dispatched to Big Valley Rd. for the report of a shed on fire. Arriving crews found a large shed well involved in fire and upgraded initially to the Working Still level and eventually to the Box Alarm level for tenders. Brutal cold temperatures hampered firefighting efforts. The air temperature at the time of the fire was -9 degrees F. Several vehicles were damaged or destroyed along with a large amount of hay.
Departments On Scene: Greenleaf, Wayside, Morrison, Ledgeview, Hollandtown, and Wrightstown.

Here’s the video from the scene of the house explosion in Long Grove, IL.
Some images from 4773 Trenton Court in the Royal Melbourne subdivision in Long Grove (IL). Parts of this development are in the Long Grove Fire Protection District and the rest in the Countryside Fire Protection District.
Before 11PM on Friday, firefighters responded to a reported fire. Prior to their arrival, the homeowner reportedly stepped out of the home just minutes before a catastrophic explosion destroyed the structure sending splintered debris in all directions. Several neighboring homes suffered broken windows, buckled garage doors, or structural damage. There are reports that several homes are uninhabitable.
There were only minor injuries at the scene. A 2nd Alarm was struck for water tenders and suppression companies as the development is largely without hydrants. The gas company was reportedly in the area investigating an odor.

Kitchener Fire Dispatch toned out a full response from Maryhill and Conestogo plus the St Jacobs tanker for a confirmed house fire at 1364 Durant Road at 12:02 pm March 3, 2014. The Maryhill pumper reported smoke showing approximately two miles from the scene. Breslau’s pumper tanker was then added to the call as the fourth.
The Maryhill pumper arrived on scene and reported a century-old building was fully involved. Two port-a-tanks were set up beside the pumper. Water was shuttled from a hydrant at the Breslau fire hall, approximately five miles from the scene.
The original front section of the home was built in 1888, and had a tin roof. The wind chill dropped the temperature to -10 F, making firefighting very difficult. Crews worked six hours to fully extinguish the fire.
Box 690 served 100 hot drinks, eight dozen chili dogs, 40 cold drinks, and 200 snack items at the fire.
