Fire In Woods Fueled By High Winds

STREET, MD ? Shortly before midnight on Wednesday, multiple firefighter crews were called to the 3600 block of Emory Church Road for a fire in the woods.

Around 15 minutes after that, fire crews requested additional water sources, including Tanker 13, followed by the creation of a tanker task force. However, high winds and challenging terrain made it difficult to battle the blaze, according to the Fallston Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Company.

Several volunteer fire companies from Harford and York counties remained at the scene until 3 a.m. Thursday.

"Along with Tanker 13, our personnel were manning Engine 1311, covering Fallston and providing mutual aid to our partners in the event of incidents that may arise in our community," the police department stated.
