At approx. 1040 hours, a box alarm was struck out for the house on fire with one burned at 2404 Oak Glen Way in Ritchie, Maryland. Tower Ladder 33 responded on the run with a total of five volunteers. Engine Company 37 arrived within minutes to find a single-story home and fire showing from the basement area. A burned child was also located in the front yard. Engine Company 37 immediately stretched a line to suppress the fire and provided EMS care. Battalion Chief 803 arrived on the scene shortly after Engine Company 37 and established the "Oak Glen" Command. He next gave orders to Tower Ladder 33 to report to side "A" and perform the first due ladder company responsibilities. Tower Ladder 33 arrived a short time later, placed several portable ladders, ventilated the home and performed searches with Rescue Squad 27. The fire, involving a few rooms, was quickly extinguished via the interior stairwell. Once the fire was knocked down, the crew from 33 assisted others with opening up and checking for extension. Tower Ladder 33's crew operated for approx. two-hours before returning to service. The injured child was transported to a local burn unit in serious condition.
