CRVFC extends our thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of fire fighter Kurt Chenowith.  Kurt was a Fire Specialist at station 1 (Towson).  Kurt lost his life in motor vehicle accicent earlier this week. 

On Saturday May 28th, Baltimore County Central Battalion Units were alerted for a 10-50PI (motor vehicle accicdent)  with Rescue at the intersection of Worthington and Tufton Ave. (40-03 Box) E501 from Chestnut Ridge was first on scene and advised that there was a 2 vehicle accident at the intersection with E501 assuming command. Shortly there after command reported that there multiple patients but no rescue. M415 (Reisterstown VFC) transported two patients to an area hospital. Units were on scene for approximately a half hour before clearing. 

Just before 1100 Station 50 was alerted for a 10-50 PI (a motor vehicle collision w/ injury) at the intersection of Falls Road and Chestnut Ridge Drive.  Engine 501 and Utility 507 responded, and arrived at the location to find four patients with various degrees of injury. 501 requested three additional medic units (medic 117 (Texas), medic 14 (Brooklandville), and medic 475 (Jacksonville VFD) to transport these patients to appropriate medical facilities for treatment.


 

The members of the Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Company extend their deepest sympathies and condolences to the Lutherville Volunteer Fire Company for the line of duty loss of one of their members today during a 4 alarm fire in Parkville.

Mark Faulkenhan, 43, a married father of two from Middle River.  He retired from Baltimore County as a paramedic several years ago, and continued to ride at Lutherville Volunteer Fire Company and as an instructor for M.F.R.I.

Many of our members had the privilege of meeting Mark as he was the lead instructor for a Rescue Tech. class taught at Chestnut Ridge.

Our thoughts are with Mark, our Fire Department Family, and of course his friends and family.

Early this morning, ATV 50 responded at the request of the Baltimore County Mobile Command Center to assist in assessing damage to the Parkville area.  Requesting ATV's from other areas is actually quite common when a large event occurs.  These units are able to drive off road  and fit in areas that normal fire equipment can not (especially when power lines and trees are blocking normal access point to whole neighborhoods.)
