12/18/09-Overturned Tractor trailer, Silver Spring Road-Despite a grand effort, the recovery company could not contain this truckload of pallets as it righted the damaged combo. With the top of the trailer nearly ripped off, we could only watch as the pallets spilled onto the street. Extensive cleanup, mostly handled by the towing crew, and fortunately minor injuries. Why do those two Chiefs look so happy?

12/10/09-Single vehicle into a tree- I don't have much info on this call, but it looked like a pretty bad hit. You can judge the force of a crash by the intrusion into the vehicle, and we see here very substantial intrusion into the engine compartment.

Unknown Date-Home Depot truck fire-Silver Spring responded to assist Hampden for a tractor trailer on fire next to a structure. Arriving crews find a fully involved tractor behind Home Depot, and make short work of the inferno before it compromises the building. Good knockdown for the Company 30 guys!

Walnut Pointe Halloween Parade-The Fire Department is bestowed the honor of leading the Halloween parade at the Walnut Pointe development again this year. After leading the parade through the development, we set up the now famous smokehouse and drove home some good fire safety training, let the kids try on the gear and tour the engine. Thanks to all the moms and dads who made us feel so welcome! See you next year?

01/22/10-Confined space egress training-Ingenuity comes to training again as we piece together a small obstacle course at the station, blind the firemen and send them on their way with 40 pounds of everything hanging off them. Teetering on "torture the blindfolded guy" everyone did extremely well in this exercise. The bystanders confuse and disorient, excite and distract them, while they attempt to take off their airpack and squeeze through a tiny opening to safety. Not easy. Good work on this life-saving drill guys!

December 09-Santa Comes to Station! Looks like someone was so excited they had to take a little nap.
