Fire @ Buddy's
|
| July 29th - Initially dispatched as an automatic fire alarm late on Thursday night, members from LVRS responded with the Rescue Engine to Buddy's Crab and Ribs on Baltimore Avenue. Upon arrival there was nothing evident, but when crews began their investigation they discovered heavy smoke in the building. Directing Public Safety Communications to fill the assignment, extra crews from LVRS brought the Rescue Squad from quarters and the surrounding stations provided the rest of the response. Upon entry the crew from the Rescue Engine discovered a small fire being held in check by the sprinkler system. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation. |

| Overnight through Wednesday morning the Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad Dive Units responded to over five dive calls throughout the northern part of Prince George's County. Almost every call was for people trapped in their cars surrounded by high water. There was one call for a body floating, but nothing was found and the inclement weather grounded the Trooper. Our recent re-certification training for Swift Water Rescue Technicians came at a good time. With Chief 49, 49B and at least 5 members of the dive team, LVRS continued to support our surrounding stations. Meanwhile back in Laurel, multiple remaining crews continued to run calls including the evacuation of one of the apartment buildings across the street from the station. It seems the 15 foot deep culvert overflowed the banks and emptied into one of the nearby buildings.

Basement House Fire on West Laurel
|
| At approximately 2000 hours on Saturday, July 10, 2004, members from LVRS responded to the report of a house on fire in west Laurel with the Rescue Engine, Rescue Squad, Ambulance and Chief 49. While in route, bystanders on the scene reported heavy smoke from the eaves. Rescue Engine 49 was the third arriving engine and established their own water supply. The crew made entry to the first floor and held the fire while the rest of the crew completed a primary search. Rescue Squad 49 went to side Charlie and assisted in ventilation and entry while assisting Engine 412. While initially a basement fire, the fire spread quickly inside the wall and made it to the attic. Crews from LVRS and Montgomery County pulled the ceiling and extinguished the fire. The units from LVRS operated for over 2 hours. |
