At 434 Thursday morning Engine 618B was dispatched for a public service following a citizen’s report of water "blowing into the air out of the street". Upon arrival, a mixed Loudoun County Fire and Rescue and SVFC crew found a broken water main line with water shooting 30-40 feet in the air. E618B’s crew establish a perimeter, requested an emergency response from Loudoun Water, and notified neighbors while confirming nobody was in immediate danger. Upon identifying one car that was at risk of collapsing into the sink hole, E618B requested help from Rescue 635. The LCFR crew on R635 arrived and quickly worked to winch the car back, allowing the owner to move it to a safe location. E618B then stayed on scene, monitoring the situation and briefing home owners. Once Loudoun Water arrived, E618B assisted with shutting off water to the broken line.
I didn’t realize this is Countryside right behind where we live! Incredible
During shift change on Monday Engine 618B was dispatched for an outside fire. A mixed crew of SVFC volunteers and Loudoun County Fire and Rescue staff responded. After a brief search of the are they found and extingueshed a fire in the woods behind the neighborhood. The scene was turned over to the Loudoun Fire Marshal's office for investigation. Later in the shift E618B was alerted for a structure fire in a commercial area. They arrived to find a fire in the shrubs near a building. That was quickly extinguished, and additional units were placed in service.
Two recent fires highlight the critical importance of disposing of smoking materials properly.
