On Wednesday January 24th, Carroll County units were alerted for a small building fire in the 3300 block of Hooper Road in Co. 10's first due. This call was just miles away from and a few minutes after the house fire dispatched on Cabbage Spring Road. Carroll County Co. 10 units went on scene with a garage type building fully involved and requested a full box assignment. A rapid intervention dispatch and tanker task force were also quickly added. Units were pulled from many unusual companies at great distances due to the two-alarm fire just down the road from this fire. RS15 (Sgt. Chapman) was alerted on the RID assignment and responded along with C15-1 (DFC Kennedy) with 9 volunteers. The squad arrived and was quickly put to work opening up the building for engine crews. The squad remained on scene for a couple hours while extinguishment and investigation took place. Carroll Chief 10-1 (Moser) held the Hooper Road command.
