Just after 01:00 I woke up to the 2nd Alarm being sounded for 1708 Dundalk Avenue.  Truck 20 was first on scene of a three story apartment building with flames from the 3rd floor on arrival and people reported trapped.  Not understanding the street name, a train delay and very big water made us a little late getting on scene.  One person with severe burns was rescued and the media reported 36 occupants displaced... looked like more to me. 

 

   

On Thursday afternoon Prince George's & Ann Arundel County Fire Companies were dispatched to an apartment fire at 11756 Laurel Drive.  First Due Rescue Engine 849 reported flames from the third floor of a garden apartment and a 2nd Alarm was struck.  We were just leaving Washington D.C. when the box came in and arrived after knock down. 

 

   

My department is going to purchase a rescue pumper. I would like to hear pros/cons, likes/dislikes, etc. regarding a PUC/Emax type apparatus versus a traditional rescue pumper.

At 0549 a box was transmitted for a house fire at 628 (corrected to 616) NE 75th Ave.

The response was E19, 28, 9, 12, T7, T13, R19, C3 & C4.

Eng. 19 reported smoke showing from a shed, but it was later determined to be an addition

to the house. Truck 7 opened the roof but there was no fire in the attic. The occupant was

treated for smoke inhalation.

After a short time, the fire had extended to another part of the house and broke through the roof.

In the 1970's I shot a lot of apparatus photos and thought I would share one of the more interesting ones.  There were only three Baker tower ladders delivered in Canada.  The bodywork was built by Thibault on the Mack CF chassis.  The first was delivered to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in 1976 as their Tower 2, pictured here in 1978.  The second went to St. John, New Brunswick, which I never saw.  The third went to Verdun, Quebec in 1977.
