On Monday, January 11, 2010, Engine 25 of the Grasonville Fire Department was struck by a tractor trailer while on the scene of a motor vehicle collision. Engine 25 was positioned so as to protect the accident scene and other responders from oncoming traffic, which was accomplished with distinction. Firefighters Steve McCombs and Thomas Sheahan are members of Bowie VFD Company 43 (Pointer Ridge) as well as Grasonville FD, and suffered minor injuries resulting from the accident. The four personnel on the fire engine were transported to Anne Arundel Medical Center, where they were treated and released. Please join us in wishing Steve and Thomas a speedy recovery and return to duty.
