At approximately 1100 hours on June 20, 2014, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue first battalion units were alerted to the house fire on Dunoon Road just off of New Hampshire Ave. in the community of Hillandale.  Rescue Squad 2, Rescue Squad 715, Trucks 716 and 719, Engines 716, 724, Reserve Engine 3, Prince Georges County Engine 841 (Calverton) and additional units responded, arriving to find smoke showing from the roof of a ranch style house.

Firefighters had the fire confined to an attic space and knocked quickly. By the time I arrived they had started the overhaul process.  Battalion Chief 701 had command.

Frederick County Fire & Rescue battled an early morning 2-alarm fire at the Dairy Maid warehouse on East 7th St. in downtown Frederick, MD.  The fire started due to a malfunction in a compressor and spread to the warehouse roof.  Firefighters quickly had the fire under control and continued to perform overhaul on the scene for a few hours.  I arrived during the overhaul phase.
