2-Alarm fire in Hagerstown, MD – February 4, 2017

Hagerstown city (MD) firefighters responded to a reported house fire on Jefferson St. (east side of downtown Hagerstown) Saturday night (2/5/17) around 9:15 p.m. They encountered heavy fire from multiple sides and the attic of the 2-story, wood-framed duplex structure.  Command quickly escalated the box assignment to include rapid intervention and safety assignments.  Crews aggressively worked the interior of the duplex but were pushed back by heavy fire and smoke. Evacuation tones were sounded multiple times during the first 20 minutes of the incident.

Interior teams re-entered the complex and knocked the heavy fire.  Truck companies worked the roof and attic areas to expose fire that had extended into the walls.  All occupants of the duplex self evacuated.  Crews remained on scene for hours to perform overhaul.

Command ordered an additional engine and squad company and eventually a 2nd alarm for manpower to assist the initial crews.  Companies from Washington County including Longmeadow, Funkstown, Maugansville, Halfway, Washington County Special Operations, the Rehab and Air units assisted in the incident.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue units were alerted to the house fire on Hillmead Road in Bethesda (MD) on Feb. 19.  Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue Squad 741 was first due and the first unit on the scene.  They reported smoke showing on arrival and requested the rapid intervention dispatch (RID) and the fire task force.

Heavy fire was encountered in the basement of the house fed by a natural gas meter.  While first responding units went into fire attack mode, a 2nd alarm was ordered.  Battalion 702 took command, and units from multiple battalions in the county worked the fire.  A MAB (Medical Ambulance Bus) unit, the Kensington Canteen unit, and a Mobile Air Unit responded to provide rehab, hydration, and to refill air packs.  An extended overhaul took place.  I arrived after the 2nd alarm was struck and took photos of the units and crews on the scene.
