Over the course of the weekend, as Southern Maryland was experiencing a high level of winter weather, Bay District Volunteers were called to several fires.

On Friday, January 11, 2019 at 16:55 hours, Bay District Stations 9 and 3, NDW Patuxent River Co 13, Hollywood Co 7, and Leonardtown Co 1 were alerted Mutual Aid to Calvert County for the reported Airplane Crash in the Chesapeake Ranch Estates. Engine 92 (Lt Harrison), Safety 9 (Adams), Tanker 34 (Capt. Bruner) Chief 3A (Burroughs), and Chief 3 (Wahrenbrock) all responded shortly after dispatch with a total of 12 volunteers. While responding, units were advised of several explosions at the scene. Units arrived and staged while units from Solomon’s VRSFD further investigated the incident. The incident was later scaled back to units from Solomon’s VRSFD, St Leonard VFD, and Bay District Engine 92. Further investigation identified a RV that had been driven down an embankment and came to rest at the bottom of a ravine. While traveling down the embankment, the RV struck a residential propane tank which caused the noted explosions and smoke that could be seen for miles. The patient was safely assisted by bystanders prior to Fire and EMS arrival. Engine 92 remained on the scene for 2 hours assisting units before returning in service.

On Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 03:35 hours, Bay District Station 9 and Hollywood Co 7 were alerted Mutual Aid to Calvert County for a reported Structure Fire.

On Engine 92 arrival, the structure had collapsed and only Exterior fireground operations were being performed.
