At about 1:15 pm, Thursday, October 2, Firefighters arrived at this 2-story single family home in the 9200 block of Gary Lane, Springdale, with smoke showing from the roof and fire showing fron the C/D corner. Firefighters extinguished the 2nd floor bedroom fire within 10 minutes of arrival. All searched were negative and no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

At about 11:15 am, Wednesday, September 10, 2014 firefighters responded to a report of a fire in an apartment building. First arriving units in the 6800 block of Riverdale Road encountered a 3-story with a terrace level apartment building with smoke showing. It appears a fire started in a utility room on the terrace level. Workers were using an acetylene torch while working to remove an old boiler. Combustibles ignited in the pipe chase area with fire extending to the upper floors by way of interior walls.

Yeah, I said "PIO Cam". Prince George's County, MD PIO Mark Brady has apparently got a new camera. He is using a GoPro to capture some scene video. This is his first time out with the new camera.

PGFD Truck 832 was involved in a crash this morning. A civilian and a firefighter were injured. Both vehicles might be a total loss. The truck is a 2012 Pierce Arrow XT that cost $850,000.

This video was sent to me recently by a Brother who wanted to share it and also let me know a little more about the Branchville Volunteer Fire Company in Prince George's County, MD.

Across the Nation, Firefighters are wearing pink for breast cancer awareness. Wearing pink may not seem like a big deal to the public, changing from the normal department issued uniform T-shirt or polo rarely happens. When I say rarely...this is the first time in my 12 years at my department that I have worn anything but my navy blue t-shirt or class A or B uniform. It is commendable that Fire Chiefs have realized the good of the campaigns and allowed firefighters to wear pink.

Here are a pile of great videos from the past several days. The fires span the US from New York, Pennsylvania, California, West Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts.
