| At 7:15pm box alarm 14-12 was sounded for a report of a Garage Fire in the area of the 3100 Block of Ridge Road. Units from Winfield, New Windsor, Westminster and Mt Airy responded to the alarm. Multiple reports of a working incident were fielded by the Carroll County 911 center with no caller able to provide an exact address. First arriving Chief 14-1 (Schneider), found a 60x30, two bay garage as well as a dump truck well involved in fire. Command was established by Chief 14-1 and the rapid intervention dispatch requested. Engine 101, the first arriving engine, immediately went to work cooling a large propane tank and placed a 2" handline in service to extinguish the fire. Brush 105 drafted from a pond on Glenloch Drive to supply water for the fire attack. Later in the incident Engine 102, Paramedic 109 and Haz Mat 30 would all provide assistance at the scene.
