North Huron House Fire – Forest Heights, Md

 David Jones    February 3, 2017    No Comments

On Tuesday, January 31, 2017, at 1654 hrs., units were alerted to a house fire at the unit block of North Huron Dr.  Chief 842A arrived as the assignment was being dispatched, with smoke showing.  Command was established and the fire was located in one of the many additions in the rear of the home.

Units from both Oxon Hill stations, both Allentown stations, Mornigside, Naval District of Washington, Fairfax and Forestville operated for just about two hours from start to finish.  One occupant was transported for smoke inhalation.  Later after returning to service one firefighter was transported for minor burns to his face and ears, treated and released.  The fire was caused by mishandling of a kersone heater, damage approximately $100k.

29 House or 21….OK, 58, Just Go To The Smoke

 David Jones    July 24, 2016    No Comments

Units responded to a reported house on fire in the 3000 blk. of Henry Ave., Temple Hills, Md. at about 14:30hrs. Due to new dispatch system there was some confusion to the responding units getting to the location and properly dispatched. First units arrived with “fire showing” from the alpha, bravo and Charlie sides of the home. Occupants confirmed that all made it out the home with the exception of one dog. Initial attack was hampered by water supply issue causing crews to back out and regroup. One volunteer firefighter from our company exited with 2nd burns to his ears during this time. Units continued to make the interior attack and bringing the situation under control and recovering the deceased animal. A second firefighter was injured during this incident with 2nd degree burn to his arm. Both firemen were taken to the burn center, treated, released and will be back at it soon. The fire was started by unattended cooking which caused significant damage to the home.
