Around 4:45 pm on 8/9 Tower 12 and Engine 124 were alerted to the 2500 block of Vance drive in Winfields first due for a reported building fire. Along with the tower and engine Chief 12-2 also responded in the call.

First arriving units from Winfield found a home with a large volume of fire throughout the house. Tower 12 was set up to flow water from the tower. Engine 124 assisted with other fire attack operations and chief 12-2 was assigned safety. Due to the size of the fire and the area having no fire hydrants it eventually required a second alarm and two tanker task forces bring units from Carroll, Frederick, Howard and Montgomery counties to the scene. Crews operated for approximately 5 hours before returning to Sykesville.

While the incident was on going multiple volunteers and chief 12 reported to the station to make sure any other calls that came in would be answered. Crews ran 4 additional calls while the fire was on going
