Rescue Engine 49
2003 Pierce Rescue Engine
Engine Approved to Run as Squad 49 |
On March 4th 2004, the Prince Georges Fire and EMS Department gave the go ahead for Laurel Rescue to use Rescue Engine 491 as a Squad. Currently the original squad is out of service for repairs. Engine 491 began to run calls at 1700 hours. At 1706 Rescue Engine 491 (as Squad 49) ran its first call on the Baltimore Parkway. Squad 49 returned to quarters at 1747. |
Rescue Engine 491 Training Steps into High Gear
|
| March 3rd was a busy day for the crews at Laurel Rescue responding to a gas explosion, multiple ambulance calls and car crashes. Training and proficient Rescue and fire skills are very important and crews took time to continue to drill their extraction tactics. Members used the new frontline piece to practice auto extraction and familiarizing themselves with the new apparatus. Look for Rescue Engine 491- it will be on the street very soon. |
Rescue Engine 49 Update |
| Rescue Engine 491 is back from getting its equipment mounted and has all of the gear and equipment it needs to start serving the citizens of Greater Laurel. RE 491 is on its way to AMD for a final going over by PGFD; when it gets back there will be more drills while we wait for the go ahead to put it in service. |
