First Due Shed Fire

On Wednesday May 1, 2013, at approximately 1:00 PM units from Sykesville and Howard County Station 3 were alerted for a shed fire in the 7000 Block of Marriottsville Road #2. Units quickly responded and arrived on the scene to find a 20' X 20' shed behind the house on fire. The crew from Engine 123 went to work pulling two 1 ¾ attack lines and started extinguishing the fire. Tower 12 arrived a short time later and assisted with opening the shed up so that the fire could be extinguished. Howard Engine 32 arrived on the scene along with E-124 and assisted with water supply until the fire was brought under control.

Units remained on the scene for about an hour to overhaul and check for hotspots before returning to service.
