On Monday afternoon, August 2, 2010, Carroll County Ambulance 89, Woodsboro Rescue Squad 16, and New Midway Engine 91 were alerted to respond to a Vehicle Accident at Haughs Church Road and Detour Road. 

The vehicle was soon located along Haughs Church Road (between Detour road and 194), where it had appeared to fall off the road and collide with a brick facade and fence (as pictured).

A landing zone (LZ) was organized for Trooper 3 (State Medivac Helicopter) at the New Midway Fire hall, where the driver of the vehicle was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore due to the nature of the collision.

Responding units returned to service soon after the Sherriff's Department arrived on scene. 

After returning from the Bower's Lumber Co. fire, units from company 16 remained busy running a fire alarm, 2 EMS local calls with the ambulance, and a stabbing in the 100 block of Creagerstown Rd. The stabbing patient was packaged and transported to the rear of Station 16 for rendezvous with State Police helicopter Trooper 3 for transport to R. Adams Crowley Trauma center in Baltimore.

On 7/20/2010, units from Station 16 were alerted for an "outside investigation" in the area of Bower Lumber Co., 625 S. Main St. Engine 162 responded with 3 firefighters and immediately requested a 2nd alarm and 1 tanker taskforce. They arrived on the scene of a 60x90 cinder block structure with heavy fire. The engine company forced entry through the gate and began inital operations while Engine 161 began establishing a water supply. Ambulance 169 and Rescue Squad 16 also responded,as well as companies from though out Frederick, Carroll and Adams (PA) counties. Suppression crews remained on the scene for 6 hourrs. County and State Fire Marshals, Frederick County Sheriff's Office and State police were investigating the cause of the fire.
