INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: At 5:11 p.m. Carroll County firefighters and EMS personnel were dispatched to a report of a building fire in 200 block Pennsylvania Avenue, Westminster - BOX:0331 DUE:E31 E91 E61 E101 RS9 TO3 T2 X37 CS6

The emergency response was quickly upgraded in response to a report that individuals were trapped in the fire.

In addition to units from the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1, firefighters and EMS personnel and multiple emergency response units of Carroll County volunteer fire companies 6, 9, 10, 2 and 4 responded: 6 – Pleasant Valley, 9 – Reese, 10 – New Windsor, and 4 – Manchester.

INITIAL ON-SCENE UNIT, Initial Findings, and ACTIONS TAKEN: Westminster first arrived on the scene at 5:18 with Engine 33. Westminster assistant chief Jim Starry in command.

Upon arrival, smoke was evident from the first floor of what appeared to be a structure divided into two apartments, one on the first floor and a second apartment on the second floor.

The emergency responders from Westminster quickly identified one individual inside the structure and one individual outside that appeared to be not moving, perhaps unconscious.

Maryland State Police aviation units were requested.

Westminster firefighters rescued an unresponsive woman from the first floor and located and responded to an unresponsive male outside the dwelling.

Other than suffering from smoke inhalation, the condition of the woman was unknown. Both the male and the female were transported to Carroll Hospital.

Maryland Senior Deputy State Fire Marshall Bruce D. Bouch later reported that both individuals were treated and released from Carroll Hospital.

The fire was declared under control in a short period of time after some quick action by Westminster firefighters which quickly prevented the fire from spreading.

Units remained on the scene for about an hour. Firefighters reported that the fire may have originated in the kitchen. The source of the fire appeared to be two pots on the stove with the burners turned-on high. Firefighters turned-off the burners and ventilated the apartment.

At present, there are no reports of any emergency responders injured in the response.

In addition to Carroll County firefighters, and an initial dispatch of Maryland State Police aviation – which was subsequently terminated when it was determined that the individuals could be transported by ambulance to Carroll Hospital; officers from the Westminster city police responded as well as personnel from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, and the Maryland State Fire Marshalls Office.

According to Deputy Fire Marshall Bruce D. Bouch, investigators have made a preliminary determination that the fire was accidental as a result of unattended cooking on the stove in the kitchen.

Bouch further cautioned that folks ought to always stay in the kitchen while cooking. “If you have to leave the kitchen, turn the stove off,” reminded Bouch.

The incident and the fire remains under the joint investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s office and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

Report filed by Westminster Volunteer Fire Department public information officer Chaplain Kevin E. Dayhoff. The Westminster Volunteer Fire Department may be reached at (410) 848-1800.

Lazarus Church has established an easy and secure way for our community to donate.

You may write a check and send it to the church's address: "Lazarus UCC" fund, Lazarus Church, 5101 S. Church St., Lineboro, MD 21102. Thank you for your generosity and your love - it is greatly and truly appreciated.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult.    (Psalm 46:1-3)

On the Mason-Dixon Line in northern Carroll County, the historic town of Lineboro was awakened at 4:11 a.m. on Tuesday when the first alarm rang out that there was a fire in the 160-year-old Lazarus United Church of Christ and Lutheran Union Church. Two alarms and two hours later, the fire was declared under control.

In spite of the efforts of approximately 60 firefighters from Carroll and Baltimore counties and York County, Pa., the historic structure was a total loss.

According to research by historians Joe Getty and Mary Ann Ashcraft for the Historical Society of Carroll County, "Carroll County was strongly influenced by German Baptists, also known as Dunkards and later as Church of the Brethren, and by two denominations which worked closely together during those early years — Lutheran and Reformed (now known as United Church of Christ.)

[…]

Carroll has a history of natural disasters — snowstorms, floods, tornadoes, fires — that threaten our safety, health and welfare. Too often, these natural disasters find a church.

On June 19, 1952, a storm destroyed the St. John's Roman Catholic Church steeple on Main Street in Westminster.

On Feb. 19, 1893, a tornado destroyed the steeple at St. Paul's United Church of Christ at the corner of Green Street and Bond.

On April 9 and 10, 1883, an entire section of Westminster, from John Street to Carroll Street to Main Street, burned to the ground. All that was left of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church at 21 Carroll Street was a brick shell.

[…]

An article in the Baltimore Sun last Tuesday by Blair Ames and Carrie Wells reported, “The congregation itself dates to 1853, and was founded by members of Zion's Church in Manchester… poor roads had made the five-mile route from Lineboro to Manchester impassable for several months each year, so the faithful decided to build their own church.

“According to a 1939 Sun article, the original sanctuary was built through donation pledges from members — the largest recorded was $120 and the smallest ‘121/2 cents.’”

September 27, 1993 Baltimore Sun: Lineboro Lazarus Church marks 140 years of unity

Church marks 140 years of unity Lineboro congregations share memories

September 27, 1993|By Katherine Richards | Katherine Richards, Staff Writer

One hundred and forty years of working together through good times and bad were celebrated yesterday at the Lazarus Church in Lineboro.

The church is a "Union Church," home to both the Lazarus United Church of Christ and the Lazarus Evangelical Lutheran Church.

The two congregations have shared the building, Sunday school, choirs and 140 years of memories.

Ten former pastors of both congregations participated in the celebration, which was led by the Rev. Verna L. Call, pastor of the United Church of Christ congregation, and the Rev. Philip G. Emanuel, the Lutheran pastor.

Mr. Emanuel said yesterday's celebration was "a very affirming thing" for members of the dwindling Lutheran congregation, and demonstrated to them that "whatever comes about in the future, God will be with them."

The Lazarus Evangelical Lutheran Church has about 50 members. The Lazarus United Church of Christ congregation has about 220 members.

Wanda Waugh, chairwoman of the anniversary celebration committee, gathered an exhibit of photos and documents tracing the church's past.

The Lazarus church was founded in 1853 by members of Zion's Church in Manchester.

Bad roads had made the five-mile route from Lineboro to Manchester impassable for several months each year.

The congregation collected $2,171.49 3/4 to build a sanctuary, in donations as small as 12 1/2 cents.

A new building went up in 1908.


The church still displays two original altar Bibles dating to 1854, one in English, one in German. Read more: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-09-27/news/1993270109_1_congregations-lazarus-church-evangelical-lutheran-church

9:54 p.m. EST, December 3, 2013

Sam Chamelin, pastor of the Lazarus United Church of Christ in Lineboro, lives just down the two-lane road from the historic church that anchors this rural community. On Tuesday, he could see the structure glowing in the morning light.

"Sam, the church is on fire," a parishioner had phoned to tell him.


Chamelin jumped in his car with a "sick feeling" and headed to the church, as many of its 175 parishioners would that day. The church, which traces its history to 1853 and expanded to its existing building in 1908, before sprinklers were required, was destroyed in the blaze… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/manchester-lineboro/bs-md-ca-church-fire-20131203,0,6821135.story
