🔔 🔔 Two Bells this morning in Boonsboro

Around 4:30am this morning, units from Boonsboro were alerted for a structure fire on Tiger Way. Upon their arrival they found two houses on fire and immediately elevated the assignment to a second alarm.

Engines 5 and 3, Truck 3, and Deputy Chief 3 responded on the second alarm. Engines 5 and 3 worked the exterior of the exposure building and transitioned to the interior on two different rotations for overhaul and extinguishment. Truck 3 established ladder pipe operations on the main fire building, while Deputy Chief 3 was assigned as the Charlie Side Supervisor.

HFD crews operated collaboratively and collectively with other Washington County and Frederick County crews for approximately 2.5 hours on scene.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Structural Collapse Incident – 1015 Rose Hill Avenue

Dispatch Date: May 12, 2026
Dispatch Time: 2:35 PM
Incident Location: 1015 Rose Hill Avenue, Hagerstown, MD


HAGERSTOWN, MD – At approximately 2:35 p.m., the Hagerstown Fire Department and allied emergency services agencies were dispatched to 1015 Rose Hill Avenue for a reported building collapse with multiple people trapped.

The incident occurred at a church currently under construction. According to information gathered on scene, construction crews were in the process of setting wooden trusses when workers heard cracking noises and began evacuating the structure. During the collapse, two workers became trapped within the debris.

Hagerstown Fire Department units arrived to find a large structure under construction with a significant collapse and an initially unknown number of injured workers. Due to the complexity of the incident, the response was quickly expanded to bring additional fire, rescue, and EMS resources to the scene.

Initial arriving crews immediately began assessing the structural stability of the remaining building while simultaneously locating and accessing the trapped workers. The two trapped patients were partially self-extricated from the collapsed materials prior to emergency crews reaching them. Their locations within the debris field allowed rescuers to rapidly stabilize injuries, package the patients, and safely remove them from the collapse area.

Throughout the incident, emergency personnel continued structural assessments while conducting accountability, triage, and evaluations of all workers operating on the construction site.

Both trapped workers were removed from the collapse area within approximately 15 minutes of fire department arrival.

In total, three patients were evaluated as a result of the incident. One individual declined transport to the hospital. The two workers removed from the collapse debris were transported to Meritus Medical Center with serious, but not believed to be life-threatening, injuries.

“This incident highlights the importance of rapid coordination, scene management, and strong interagency cooperation,” said Deputy Fire Chief Adam Hopkins of the Hagerstown Fire Department. “Crews from across Washington County worked together quickly to stabilize a dangerous scene, access the trapped workers, and bring the incident to a successful outcome.”

The incident required a coordinated multi-agency response involving fire, rescue, EMS, and law enforcement personnel from across the area. The Hagerstown Fire Department would like to recognize the collaborative efforts and professionalism demonstrated by all responding agencies during this incident.

The Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MOSH) responded to the scene and is actively investigating the cause of the collapse.

No further information is available at this time.

These alarms can help save lives by alerting you to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless gas often called the “silent killer.”

⚠️ Carbon monoxide can come from fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, generators, and fireplaces. Every home with these appliances should have working CO alarms installed outside sleeping areas and on every level of the home.

Our firefighters will install these alarms free of charge for Hagerstown residents.
