This Incident made national news... Throughout the day, CNN, MSNBC, and the FOX News channel kept showing the video of the rescues. It was amazing that no one got hurt.. The Swift Water rescue team did an EXCELLENT job!!!!

Why was Brush 715 escorted by FM20? Also, are the FMs still operating out of Burtonsville's old firehouse on 198?

B715 FM20

I know that Brush715 was added to the call as an additional manpower unit. I don't know why FM20 was added to the call...

"Also, are the FMs still operating out of Burtonsville's old firehouse on 198?"

I don't know

Also, are the FMs still operating out of Burtonsville's old firehouse on 198?

Burtonsville's old station (across the street from the gas station) on 198 is now a small "shopping center" with 3-4 stores/pizza shop in there.

I believe that FFX units were dispatched much earlier than this, and there were more than those listed.
