FIRE WITH RESCUE |
|
03/21/2007 1008 HRS. Kent dispatched
Fire Box 60-10 for a house fire w/ rescue @ 24581 Willow
Oak Ln. off Johnsontown Rd. (QUAKER NECK) Command 6-1
responded w/ Deputy Chief 6 (NEAL). He was first to
arrive to find a single story wood frame residence w/
heavy fire through the roof. The caller couldn't advise
if the resident was home or not. Engine 6-7 w/5 was
directed to lay in and pull the 2 1/2 & 1 3/4 crosslays.
Rescue Pumper 4 was next to arrive picking up the supply
from E 6-7. Tanker 6, Tanker 4 & Tanker 7 shuttled water
from the town limits of the city. Units worked together
to perform primary and secondary searches of the
residence. The searches came up negative. This is always
good, and today was even better because after a couple
of bottles we asked PEE WEE "what's up" and he said his
family may be inside, so he was calling around. Even
though searches were negative, the Chief said do it
again until we are positive they aren't in there.
EVERYONE - A JOB WELL DONE FROM THE CHESTERTOWN
VOLUNTEERS. Units on scene: Command 6-1, Engine 6-7,
Tanker 6, Rescue 6, Rescue Pumper 4, Tanker 4, Engine
7-2, Tanker 7, QA Rescue 7,Engine 5-3, Engine 3,
Ambulance 8, Ambulance 8-1, Paramedic 1-7, FM68 & Red

During an early evening rain and ice episode, Company 7
/ Rock Hall VFC was dispatched for the MVC. Captain 7
(Brinkley) arrived to find a single vehicle overturned
in a water filled ditch. Upon investigation Captain 7
found 2 persons trapped inside the vehicle and requested
Rescue 6 and the Kent County Dive Team. Captain 7 along
with a couple other Good Samaritans were able to
extricate the female passenger, but the male driver was
pinned and under water. When the driver was finally
extricated it was realized he was in Cardiac Arrest. EMS
units did their best job but he succumbed to his
injuries. Units operated for 1 hour and 16 minutes. To
Captain 7 and the 2 Good Samaritans GREAT JOB doing all
you could do and showing what it is all about to help
others in a time of need. |

Units were dispatched to the QA 5-12 box to a reported
house fire. Chief 6 (Joyner) responded and arrived at
17:12 to find a single story wood frame dwelling with
smoke showing. Chief Joyner approached the residence to

from Engine 64 removed the resident and investigated the
problem. After finding the problem, turning off the
furnace, and smoke removal units were placed available.
