House Fire in Garrison, MD 1/11/13

[Guest]

Shortly after 11 p.m. Friday, January 11, Baltimore County, MD westside fire units were dispatched for fire reported on the top level of a 3-story house in the unit block of St. Thomas Lane in Garrison (Fire Box 19-12). BCoFD Engine 19 (Garrison career station) arrived with fire showing from the roof area and laid a line at a nearby hydrant. Within minutes, the fire had intensified and flames were quickly blowing out windows on all sides of the large home and through the roof. As crews attempted an interior attack, command ordered all firefighters to evacuate the building and Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company Engine 321 was ordered to supply Truck 313's ladder pipe (Owings Mills Volunteers) for aerial operations. Firefighters battled the blaze for more than three hours before bringing it under control.
