In the early morning hours of February 26, Sykesville's Rescue Squad 12 was alerted for a house fire with a report of people trapped in the 4000 Block of Twin Arch Road.
Responding units from Mt. Airy Fire Department arrived on the scene and advised that they had a working fire and the incident was going to be located in Carroll County.
As Rescue Squad 12 was arriving the back half of the house had started to collapse. Rescue Squad 12 and Frederick County Engine 254 were assigned to be the RIT Team.
A combination of hand lines and master streams were used through out the incident to bring the fire under control. Crews had to deal with high winds and snow through out the entire incident.
The initial report of entrapment proved to be unfounded as everyone was able to escape the burning home. No one was injured.
