40 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Counties respond to #Westminster house #fire

40 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore Counties respond to #Westminster house #fire http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2016/04/40-firefighters-from-carroll-and.html

Dry conditions at the end of winter and early spring only heighten the fire danger out there. Please have a safe spring.

Firefighters and first responders see a little too much of each other in the spring. The fire marshal’s office and the Carroll County fire departments take this opportunity to remind you to not have first responders over to your house this spring as uninvited guests.

“Although we are very friendly, this time of the year, we are way too serious to attend your spring get-together in the event of a fire. Ensure your guests are aware of all available exits if a fire would occur… The leading cause of fires in the kitchen are unattended cooking and carelessly discarded cigarette.

Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food. And if you are going to be careless, have extra food available in case 40 firefighters need to stop by in the middle of the day to come tromping through your house. Happy spring from your local Carroll County fire department of the fire marshal’s office.

Westminster fire department chaplain and public information officer Kevin E. Dayhoff

After fire, Westminster home ruled uninhabitable


A house on West George Street is uninhabitable after a fire Thursday afternoon.

A two-story wood dwelling caught on fire because of discarded smoking material, according to a news release from the State Fire Marshal's Office.

The Fire Marshal's Office ruled that the fire's cause was accidental. No injuries were reported, but the fire caused about $10,000 worth of damage to the structure, according to the release.

The Westminster Volunteer Fire Company was called to a fire in the unit block of West George Street at about 2:11 p.m., with a call for rapid intervention coming nine minutes later, said Kevin Dayhoff, spokesman for the fire company.

40 Carroll and Baltimore Co. firefighters respond to spring woods fire


40 Carroll and Baltimore Co. firefighters respond to spring woods fire at N. Gorsuch and Leister’s School Road north of Westminster

Woods fire in muddy conditions leads to stuck fire vehicle

March 1, 2016 by Jon Kelvey Carroll County Times


It took Carroll and Baltimore county firefighters two hours to contain a large woods fire in a remote location off Hampstead Mexico Road on Tuesday afternoon, working in muddy and dangerous conditions, according to fire officials.

The first call for a brush fire in a remote location bordered by North Gorsuch, Gablehammer and Leister School roads came in at 12:37 p.m. Tuesday, according to Public Information Officer Kevin Dayhoff of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department. More than 40 firefighters and 18 pieces of equipment — including an all-terrain vehicle — responded from stations including Westminster, Manchester, Hampstead, Reese, and Lineboro.
Upon arrival on the scene, it was discovered that 1.5 to 2 acres of woodland were burning in a parcel far from the paved road that was difficult to access, according to Dayhoff.

Brush, field and woods fires in early spring or late winter can be particularly hazardous, according to information provided by Westminster fire company Lt. Brett Pearce, because while the ground remains frozen, the top layer can thaw, providing dry tinder for a fast-moving fire while simultaneously remaining muddy enough to make firefighter maneuvers difficult.

Tuesday's fire was also fanned by windy conditions, Dayhoff said.

March 1, 2016 The Carroll Co spring woods fire on Leister's School Rd is out but the paperwork continues for Westminster Vol. Firefighter Lt. Chad Petry – otherwise known officially as 'Jamie's husband.' The risk of brush and woods fires increase with warmer weather. Practice fire safety and be careful out there. Just saying

Morton's Towing and Recovery is the heavy accident recovery outfit that responded to the accident Friday morning in Carroll County


Morton's Towing and Recovery is the heavy accident recovery outfit that responded to the accident Friday morning in Carroll County

Sunday, Feb, 21, 2016

Morton's Towing and Recovery is the heavy accident recovery outfit that responded to the horrible accident Friday morning, Friday, Feb. 19, 2016, at Kate Wagner Road and Rte 27 in Carroll County Maryland. Morton’s was amazing.

For more information go to:



They arrived quickly, well-staffed, well-prepared, and equipped - and came with some of the biggest pieces of equipment I have ever seen except for perhaps in the Marine Crops in the early 1970s or perhaps when I did high steel work and bridges in the mid-1970s.

They were highly skilled, well-trained, professional, courteous, compassionate, and worked extremely well as a team with the Carroll County First responders on the scene. But perhaps most importantly, it is not good enough to be the best, you have to be nice. And you are not good if you are not nice. These were some of the nicest folks.

Same goes for our local responders…

We can be so proud of our community. We are there for each other.

We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the men and woman who responded to the accident early Friday morning. The accident scene was very difficult, upsetting, dangerous, and freezing cold involving over 60 first responders.

The incident commander was a seasoned, compassionate, professional, and highly trained veteran of many-many fire, natural disaster, and accident responses. The incident commander was extremely competent and ran the operation like clockwork.

The local Carroll County volunteer first responders left their homes and families in the middle of the night and volunteered to come to the aid and assistance of someone in distress. They did it with a great deal of professionalism, used all the hours and hours of intense training for a greater good. They did it with a great deal of skill and competence. Many folks from other parts of the state remarked at the high level of professionalism and skill exhibited by Carroll County first responders. Many were especially impressed as to how well we worked as a team.

A big thank you to our first responders and Morton’s – God Bless you for all your work.
