Video from Michael “firepix1075” Schwartzberg at this morning’s house fire in Pikesville, Maryland. Here’s his account on the Pikesville VFC website:
Shortly after 5:30 a.m. Halloween morning, Baltimore County westside units were alerted for a reported house fire at 104 Clarendon Avenue in Pikesville (Fire Box 2-14). While units were responding, Fire Dispatch advised that Baltimore County Police were reporting one burn victim. BCoFD Engine 19 (Garrison career) arrived with fire and smoke showing out windows on the second floor of a 2-story house and initiated fire attack as the victim was being pulled out by police officers and a family member. PVFC Tower 323′s crew performed search and rescue and assisted with extinguishing the fire, ventilation and salvage. Squad 322′s crew performed lighting and salvage. BCoFD Medic 2 (Pikesville career) and EMS 5 treated a male patient with significant burns, who was flown via Maryland State Police Trooper 1 to the burn unit at Bayview Medical Center. BCoFD fire investigators determined the fire started due to a bundle of electrical wires in an upstairs bedroom.

In the Pikesville house fire video there appears to be a laser beam of some type coming from the basket of the ladder truck and the helicopter as well. What type of new guidance device is this? Or not? Having been retired for ten years I have probably missed a few tricks here and there.
