An interesting day. First, an extended rescue of a mountain biker (or hiker) in a wilderness area (who knew in Crownsville?,) and now somebody digs up a hand grenade in their back yard and takes it to their front porch. Evacuations ensue.
Yup the Box is 12-15: 512 White Oak Dr.
Chief 12 was on scene and requested the Special Operations Box (including ESU35). Evacuations in a 300ft radius were completed and AACoPD was requested for traffic control.
The full rundown is:
E122
Shift Commander, Chief 12
Medic 12
FM867, FM862
ESU35
Several years ago a story in our local paper appeared about a guy installing a new boiler in the basement - while digging a new concrete platform he unearthed a hand grenade. That's scare the pants off of me!
