Dec. 23, 2014 1329 Western Chapel Rd Westminster Fire Department PIO report. 

DISPATCH TIME: 2:49 a.m. - 02:49 CT: HOUSE FIRE 1329 WESTERN CHAPEL RD BOX: 0325 DUE: E31 E101 E81 E61 TO3 L5 ET82 TT6 BR105 X38 CS8

LOCATION: 1329 Western Chapel Road, Westminster, MD 21157 - BOX: 0325

INCIDENT Classification:  FIRE SUPPRESSION

INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: At 2:49 a.m. Carroll County firefighters and EMS personnel were dispatched to a report of a house fire in the 1300 unit block of Western Chapel Road, Box 0325 in Westminster.

Homeowner called the Emergency Operations Center at least twice. Initially to report of a fire on the porch. In the second call, about five-minutes later, the caller advised that the fire had “spread through porch through house.”

INITIAL ON-SCENE UNIT: Chief 3-1 arrived on the scene at 3:01.

Initial Findings: Upon arrival a working house fire was observed. R.I.T. response and a tanker task force was requested at 3:01. The building had already sustained damage and was extensively involved.

ACTIONS TAKEN: An initial exterior attack followed closely with an interior attack. A rural water supply was established.

The home was remotely located far back an uphill lane that extended a long distance from Western Chapel Road. The weather was overcast – with no moon showing, dark, raining and foggy with temperatures that hovered just above freezing.

The fire was declared under control at 5:22 a.m. Units cleared the scene at 6:08 a.m.

HAZ-MAT? None known.

TYPE OF Material INVOLVED: A two-story log home.

No known report of any injuries.

SCENE Victims: An extended family was present at the fire ground. Mary Ellen Crown is believed to have been the only person at home at the time – and made the call to the E.O.C. Ms. Crown mentioned that the home “was in a trust in the name of Daniel Crown.” In addition to a number of family members, Lisa Grossweiller was also present with Ms. Crown.

Ms. Crown said that there were active-working smoke alarms in the home. It was unclear if she was alerted to the presence of fire by the smoke alarm or if the smoke alarms later sounded once the fire had spread from the porch to the inside of the house.

EMERGENCY PERSONNEL: According to the E.O.C., there were approximately 60 – 70 firefighters and EMS personnel at the scene. In addition, Westminster Fire Department canteen, PIO and Chaplain were also on the scene as well as one or more Carroll County deputy Sheriffs and several personnel from the Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshall.

BYSTANDERS: A large extended family was present throughout the fire suppression.

NUMBER OF ON-SCENE: There were approximately 60 – 70 Carroll County firefighters and EMS personnel at the scene from nine Carroll County volunteers’ fire departments. One unit and a number of firefighters from Lisbon, Howard County provided back-up fill-in for Westminster.

UNITS, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL, Mutual AIDE COMPANY(S,) and SPECIAL SUPPORT Services(s): Carroll County personnel from New Windsor, Union Bridge, Pleasant Valley, Westminster, Taneytown, Hampstead, Gamber, Winfield, and Lineboro responded.

Units cleared the scene at 6:08 a.m.

The homeowner was assisted by family and the American Red Cross.

The fire remains under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s office.

Report filed by Westminster Volunteer Fire Department public information officer Chaplain Kevin E. Dayhoff. PIO

Westminster's Fallfest continues a proud tradition

By Kevin Dayhoff, September 25, 2013


Westminster’s annual Fallfest celebration begins Thursday with a parade at 7 p.m. that starts on Pennsylvania Avenue and ends just below Westminster City Hall on Longwell Avenue.

Fallfest, which boasts on its website, westminsterfallfest.com, to be “Carroll County’s largest community charity event,” then continues four days through Sunday in the center of downtown Westminster at the playground and the Westminster Family Center.

For many it is one of the highlights of the year -- a time when the greater Carroll County family gets together to celebrate everything that is wonderful about our community.

Friday evening, Sept. 27, highlights the annual Midnight Madness celebration of shopping and eating-out on Main Street in downtown Westminster.

Fallfest hours for Friday are 6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 12 noon to 6 p.m.

[…]

Although there are anecdotal stories of various community fall celebrations throughout Westminster’s history; our current version of “Fallfest,” the annual parade and Midnight Madness specifically draw upon a tradition that started many years ago when Westminster came together in September for an event sponsored by the Retail Merchants Association called “Westminster Days.”

An August 29th, 1947 article in the old, out-of-print Democratic Advocate newspaper reported, “At the weekly luncheon meeting on Monday at the Charles Carroll Hotel the Retail Merchants Association of this city, plans were completed for the Westminster Days which will be held on Sept. 25 and 26. President John R. Byers presided.”

The article then described a big parade on Thursday evening and two days of downtown merchant sales on September 25th and 26th, 1947.
