When he comes home he won't be able to walk for several months. A ramp to his home was needed. Members of the Pocomoke Fire came to his need....assisting the Antioch Angel Corps from Antioch United Methodist Church in Princess Anne. Special thanks to: Rick Nelson, Jerry Boston & Bill Benson. Here's what was done on July 31, 2017...almost finished.

The call came in as residential structure fire on Old Snow Hill Rd. The occupants of the home said there was smoke coming from behind the cook stove. It was discovered that an overheated wire from the stove had burned an area on the wall of the kitchen. Quick work by fire fighters - turned the power off to the electric stove and removed the stove from the residence then ventilated the home using the smoke ejector. There was no other damage and no injuries.

The call came in as an electrical hazard, 2373 Worcester Hwy. (Rt. 113). Upon arriving firefighters found limbs from several trees across the roadway, a limb resting on the utility wires and a utility pole broken at ground level.....oh yes....and a long line of Southbound traffic at a standstill. The crew on Pocomoke engine 102, The Chief, and 2 fire police went to work clearing the roadway....in the wind and rain. Soon traffic was flowing normally. It appeared that it was high winds that caused the damage to several trees, all of which were in a relatively small area. There were no injuries.
