Westminster Fire Department responds to accident on Route 140

Westminster Fire Department responds to accident on Route 140

Westminster Fire Department responds to a serious motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Route 140 and Englar Road that snarled traffic for several hours Saturday

April 21, 2018 by Westminster Fire Department PIO and Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff

A serious motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Route 140 and Englar Road snarled traffic for several hours Saturday evening just outside of Westminster.

On Sat., April 21, 2018, at approximately 8:30 in the evening, units from the Westminster Fire Department, Westminster City Police, and the Maryland State Police responded to a call for a two-vehicle head-on vehicle collision at the intersection of Englar Road and Route 140 – Baltimore Blvd.

Emergency units responded quickly to the scene. Upon arrival, Westminster Fire Department Lt. Guy Garheart found a two-vehicle motor vehicle accident in the middle of the intersection. A Taneytown police officer on his way to work had happened upon the scene and was assisting the response. Although there was significant property damage to both vehicles, fortunately no-one was injured seriously in the accident.

And fortunately, no first responders - police officers, EMS providers or firefighters were hurt. This, in spite of a series of several serious incidents in which drivers drove around the cones and flares at traffic control points – and through the accident scene, in order to hasten their travels - directly endangering the lives of the first responders.

The accident remains under investigation.

In June of 1924 volunteers from the six fire departments in existence at the time in Carroll County were no doubt comparing notes at their monthly meetings after the first ever-annual convention of the newly formed Carroll County Firemen’s Association...

[...]

The six companies that formed the firemen’s association were:The Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 1, first organized in 1823; Union Bridge Volunteer Fire Company, 1887;Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company, 1900; Lineboro Volunteer Fire Department, 1915; Manchester's Fire Engine and Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, 1893; and Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company, 1897.

[...]

Today there are a total of 14 volunteer fire companies in the county.  In addition to the initial six companies that formed the association in 1923: The Mount Airy Volunteer Fire Company began organizing in 1921; Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company, 1931; Sykesville Freedom District Fire Company, 1933; and the New Windsor Fire and Hose Company No. 1 first came into being in 1908 and re-organized in 1948. 
The Reese Volunteer Fire Company was incorporated on April 7, 1948; Harney Volunteer Fire Company, 1951; Winfield and Community Volunteer Fire Department,1964; and Gamber and Community Fire Company organized on August 22, 1963.
