By Assistant Engineer Luke Uhler
April 15, 2025

On April 15th at 15:39, Station 49 was alerted for a tree down on wires. Tanker Support Unit 491 responded with two personnel to the cross streets of Falls Road and Mount Zion Road in a 49-16 box. Upon arrival, units staged a safe distance from the live power lines and active fire on the ground. Tanker Support 491 preemptively called for BGE and a brush unit. Brush 858 out of Upperco Volunteer Fire Company responded with two personnel. BGE quickly shut off the power to the lines and crews from 49 and 85 began extinguishing the fire. After evaluating the ground coverage, no additional hot spots were found and crews went in service.

Units: Tanker Support Unit 491, Brush Unit 858
