Saturday, December 31, 2011 17:43 On Saturday December 31, 2011 at 17:43 units from Myersville and Middletown were dispatched to assist Trooper 3 (MSP Helo.) with a lost hiker on the Blue Trail near the intersection of Hamburg Rd. and Fishing Creek Rd. Shortly after units started marking up Trooper 3 was diverted to a serious accident and was later replaced with Trooper 2 and Eagle 1. Personnel from Co.8 and ATV-7 started into the mountain to search for the lost hiker and his dog, around 19:20 Trooper 2 and a Frederick County Advanced Technical Rescue (ATR) team arrived and an ATR member was lowered down to the patient. The ATR member, hiker w/ dog, and ground personnel started to exit the mountain to safety. At 20:30 units exited the woods on Hamburg Rd. near Gambrill Park Rd., the patient was turned over to A-89 for evaluation and the other units cleared as they became available.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011  Just wanted to pass along a interesting picture. As you can see, this is what a green and white Engine looks like after the paint wears off. It's RED underneath! We all knew it.

It was a great pumper, and we enjoyed doing your standby's for your banquet's when we staffed old Engine 12 and the "Pete".
