With a slow start to the morning, the Bomberos found time to sneak in some much needed rest from the night before. Around noon PSC interrupted their sleep after dropping the box for 1325 Nicholson Street in 44’s first due. E341 with 8 was making the turn onto Sargent Rd when communications advised they were receiving numerous calls and was starting the working fire dispatch. With smoke showing upon arrival, E341 found fire above two rooms in the attic and extinguished the same. Holding two and two for approximately 30 minutes, units picked up and were ready for service in just over an hour.

 
After 3 AM this morning and with the Ambulance already at MedStar for a trauma, E341 was alerted for the 9I at New Hampshire and Piney Branch for one trapped and on fire. E341 arrived to find a single vehicle that had lost control, ran through a telephone pole and was fully involved. With two patients outside and one confirmed trapped, E341 split crews to handle each. A passing motorist had pulled two from the wreckage and was starting CPR on one of them. After extinguishing the auto, the one trapped victim was pronounced on scene. A third victim who was conscious at the time of arrival succumbed to his injuries. Squad 14 was called back to the scene later this morning to complete  the extrication after an investigation by County Police.
