🚨 NOT YOUR AVERAGE SUNDAY RESCUE 🚨

Early Sunday afternoon, Chestnut Ridge VFC was dispatched to a highly unusual call just over a mile from our station. The dispatch read: “Someone is stuck in a tree and the tree is on top of them.”

Upon arrival, our crews found a man who had been cutting down a tree. A massive branch had shifted, pinning him against the trunk a whopping 25 feet in the air.

This complex operation required a massive team effort. We were quickly joined by: Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company's Heavy Rescue Squad (S322), Glyndon Volunteer Fire Department's ladder truck (T404), and a team from Baltimore County Fire Department, including BCoFD Station 17 - Texas (T17), a paramedic (EMS5), an ambulance (A119), and Battalion Chief (BC1).

Thanks to seamless teamwork and state-of-the-art rescue equipment, the team stabilized the shifting branches and successfully freed the man in less than an hour of arrival.

He was airlifted by Maryland State Police - Aviation Command to the University of Maryland Medical Center's R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center with serious leg injuries. Our thoughts are with him for a swift recovery.

💪 Proud of the incredible teamwork from all responding agencies. When the community needs us, we answer—together.

Thanks to our friends at Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company for inviting us to participate in Engine Ops training with them on Sunday!

Summer will be here soon: That means more teen drivers on the road!

Less-experienced teen drivers are more often on the roads in the summer months. Whether heading to jobs, events or social activities (at times they normally would be in school), these young drivers can be distracted by passengers or technology...or simply confused by traffic.

In fact, technology is a teen hazard even when they are walking—no matter the season! About 85 percent of teens struck (or nearly struck) by a vehicle while crossing the street reported that they were listening to music, texting or talking on the phone. Additionally, teens are hit or nearly hit by vehicles “more frequently reported crossing in the middle of a block or running across the street.”

The rules for driving don’t change during the summer months, but the challenge does. Go into it with your eyes wide open. (Source: Safe Kids Worldwide)
