Merry Christmas from the members of Rose Fire Co. May you have a blessed and safe day. Enjoy the company around you and the love between one and other.

****URGENT*** The weather for tomorrow is not looking good. The forecast says several inches of rain with potential for severe wind gusts. Thankfully the North Pole was able to lend us SANTA tonight! SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN TONIGHT STARTING AT 5pm!!!!... Please share and spread the word!

The fire is out! After 125,000+ gallons of water and almost 100 man hours! This fire was certainly a challenge from all angles! There’s not enough words that we can use to thank Clear View Excavation! If it weren’t for the owner and crew of Clearview, it wouldn’t have been possible for us to extinguish the Corn Stalk pile off of Campbell. They showed up, ready and willing to help with very expensive equipment and with no promise of payment- just out of the goodness of their hearts! If you’ve got excavating needs, we strongly recommend you check out this awesome Company.

* Large Fire Veteran Dr Update* Crews are back at it again from 8:30 this morning and still operating. Heavy Equipment from Clear View Excavation has come out to assist us with this incident so we can finish extinguishing this fire and knock down the large amount of smoke produced from it. Members plan to be out here for the next several hours attempting and hoping to have this completely extinguish today.

This afternoon Tower 58 & Micu 58 assisted Baltimore County Station 45 (Maryland Line Volunteer Fire Company) on a MVA with injuries both companies arrived to find 2 vehicles had been involved in a head on collision.

At 1:11 this afternoon Tower 58 was alerted to Little Rd in Stewartstown for a structure fire. While enroute updates were given for a working structure fire and partial structural collapse. Tower 58 arrived behind Tower 54 and assisted them with laddering the structure, fire control and an aerial water attack. There were no occupants in the home. Crews operated for hours due to the amount of fire. The structure collapse made it difficult for firefighters get into places for overhaul.

Station 58 was alerted this morning for a wires and pole fire in the 3800 block of Steltz road. Engine 58-2 arrived to find a utility pole laying across the road with wires on the ground and a lot of debris in the grass and on the roadway. Officer of Engine 58-2 notified dispatch that this was a due to a vehicle striking the pole and crews search the the immediate and wooded areas for any vehicles or occupants. Utility 58 circled around the block and came up on a truck parked... in a field with damage to the front and heavy damage to the windshield and roof. Members again searched the vehicle and surrounding area for occupants. None were located. *** If your involved in an accident please remain there till the Emergency services arrive and can check you for injuries you may not know you have. It is also illegal to leave the scene of an accident. State police took charge of the incident and cleared the Fire Department from the scene.

*** Update Roadway is now open **** Traffic Alert 851 (Steltz Rd) is shut down at W Seiling Rd & Rual Rd for a utility pole and wires in the road way due to a vehicle accident. Please use alternate route.

Just after 11:00 this morning Station 58 was alerted for an MVA W/Rollover at Steltz Rd & W Sieling Rd. Tower 58, Engine 58-2 and Micu 58 responded. Tower 58 arrived to a single vehicle on its side with one confined, members secured the vehicle with struts and cribbing while Ems staff check on the driver who had a minor injury.
