Crisfield Volunteer Fire Department – Incident Report At 4:36 a.m., the Crisfield Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the 40 block of Somers Cove, a residential apartment complex, for a smoke detector activation. The alarm company representative reported that the alarm originated from a second-floor bedroom. Engine 203 responded with Captain Holland, an engineer, and a firefighter. Upon arrival, Captain Holland reported no visible smoke or fire from the exterior of the building. He established command and initiated an investigation. A visual search of the accessible areas revealed no signs of smoke or flames. The apartment doors were locked, preventing access to the reported location. Captain Holland requested that the on-call maintenance personnel respond to the scene. Somerset 911 reported making multiple attempts to contact the on-call maintenance person but was unable to leave a voicemail. Dispatch subsequently contacted another individual, who advised that they would attempt to arrange for the on-call maintenance person to respond. Captain Holland made several attempts to gain entry and conducted an exterior observation of the apartment. With no visible signs of smoke or fire, the incident was placed under control. Command was subsequently terminated, and Engine 203 returned to quarters. Crisfield Volunteer Fire Department |
