Sykesville, MD (1:45 p.m.) – Weight from heavy snow collapsed the roof of the Sykesville Freedom District Fire Department’s social hall this morning. The collapse broke a gas line, sparking a blaze that destroyed that wing of the building. No fire apparatus was damaged, and no one was injured. Sleeping quarters, administrative offices, and the bingo hall were affected by the collapse and fire. Damage totals are not yet available.

Crews from four counties – Carroll, Baltimore, Howard and Frederick –are still on the scene to assist. Responding to the three-alarm blaze were approximately 200 firefighters and more than 50 pieces of equipment from approximately two dozen companies. The roof collapse was reported at 7:57 a.m. BGE crews were able to shut down the gas line around noon.

Sykesville-Freedom Co. 12 will continue to operate from the station. In fact, service in the Sykesville/Eldersburg area was not interrupted during the incident. Temporary housing will be established for the volunteers. Donations of cash or checks to help the company rebuild can be sent to Sykesville Freedom District Fire Department Inc., P.O. Box 275, Sykesville, MD 21784. Because of limited storage capacity, please do not donate supplies unless requested.

Sykesville Firefighter: Bill Rehkopf – Another Fire At Abandoned Henryton Hospital Center December 19, 2007

By Firefighter/EMT Bill Rehkopf

December 19, 2007

An early morning fire has heavily damaged the main building at the former Henryton Hospital Center in Marriottsville.

The blaze was initially reported as an investigation of smoke in the area at approximately 4:15 am. Responding crews discovered the fire at Henryton and immediately upgraded the incident to a box alarm.

Crews discovered heavy fire in the portion of the main building where the old theater was located. Two tanker task forces and the rapid intervention dispatch were requested, bringing crews from neighboring companies in Carroll, Baltimore and Howard counties. Approximately 75-80 firefighters were reported on the scene by the incident commander.

It took approximately three and a half hours to bring the fire under control. There were no injuries in the fire.

The hospital grounds have been the scene of many suspicious fires in recent years, including several in the theater section of the main building. There are no utilities to the building. The cause of this fire has not been determined.

Sykesville fire officials are urgently requesting state officials to address the dangerous situation at Henryton, preferably by razing the buildings to avoid future fires, or even worse, injuries or deaths.

Units: Sykesville Engine 124, Ladder 12, Rescue Squad 12, Paramedic 128 (partial list)

Mutual Aid: Various companies from Baltimore, Carroll and Howard Counties

This week, Oct. 7-13, is Fire Prevention Week.

That's serious business. Don't kid yourself that it can't happen to you. The basics of fire safety are something that every family needs to practice every day.

Recently in Carroll County there have been a number of fires that garnered public attention. Fortunately, most of the incidents of late have not involved serious injury or death, but the resulting property damage still takes a toll on a community.

One thing you can do right away is put fresh batteries in your smoke alarm(s) and make sure these basic safety devices are working properly.

The next thing you can do is talk with your family about a fire escape plan. In fact, "Practice Your Escape Plan" is this year's National Fire Protection Association theme for Fire Prevention Week 2007. For more information and a worksheet for developing a home fire escape plan, visit firepreventionweek.org.

You can also take the opportunity to learn more about fire protection services in Carroll County.

There's a rich history and tradition of citizens volunteering their time and talent to the 14 fire companies in Carroll.

In the Sykesville-Eldersburg area, there are several references to a "Sykesville Fire Company" in various old newspaper articles after Sykesville incorporated in 1904, but it appears it wasn't until summer 1933 that the predecessor to what we now know as the Sykesville-Freedom District Fire Department was formerly organized.

The Dec. 10, 1920 edition of the Union Bridge Pilot has an article in it about the "large flour mill of the Maryland Milling and Supply Company, at Sykesville É was totally destroyed by fire Wednesday night É causing a loss of about $20,000 É

"A chemical engine, the only fire apparatus in the town, could render but little service, and the flames gained headway with alarming rapidity. A large crowd assembled, but could do nothing more than to stand and look on."

The April 13, 1923, edition of the long-defunct Democratic Advocate carried a headline: "Mr. and Mrs. John Harris, With Baby Ill From Pneumonia, Flee In Night-Clothes."

The article declares that a fire was "believed to have been caused by a defective flue in the home of John Harris, threatened to destroy the town of Sykesville, Monday morning about 3:30 o'clock. É At one time the Harris house, the town hall, the jail and the 'old volunteer house,' occupied by the fire company, were in flames É"

"Hardly more than a bucket brigade the Sykesville Volunteer Fire Company is said to have done excellent work in fighting the flames until the arrival of the Westminster company."

According to a history posted on the Sykesville-Freedom District Fire Department's Web site, on September 18, 1933, the first members of the Sykesville Fire Department were elected. They included: J. Marion Harris, President; H. Lester Phelps, Vice President; Celius L. Brown, Secretary; J. Nevin Ports, Treasurer and Leo F. Chrobot, Chief.

On Dec. 14, 1933, the department purchased the "old store on lower S. Main Street and a 1933 American LaFrance fire engine was purchased to serve the community," according to the department Web site.

"In 1939, plans were made to acquire new apparatus. The current fire station was too small so the station moved to across the street to the 'old stone store.' This building was used until 1949 when it was sold to St. Barnabas Church."

During the dedication ceremony for the new Main Street station on May 14, 1949, the fire alarm rang, and as the Eldersburg-Sykesville area has grown, the increasing number of calls has continued.

In 1972, a second station was built on Sykesville Road, and the company operated two station houses until November 1981.

It was also in 1972 that Libby Luebberman became the first female to qualify to ride the emergency apparatus in Sykesville. She was one of the first in the county and one of the first in the state.

Carroll County volunteer firefighters are among our greatest heroes.

They take time away from their families and risk their lives daily to protect us and our homes.

We can help thank them by working to prevent disasters ... and by being prepared.
