Maryland Line Volunteer Fire Company firefighters and surrounding agencies battled a house fire in Parkton that resulted in a mayday when a firefighter fell through the floor.
Firefighters were called to the 19600 block of Graystone Road in Parkton around 9:20 p.m., Sunday evening for a reported dwelling fire.
Crews arrived to a working fire in a single-family dwelling. Firefighters from Maryland Line and Hereford stretched lines into the structure for fire control, but had to withdrawal due to changing conditions, according to a post on Maryland Line Volunteer Fire Company’s Facebook page.
Once firefighters got a bulk of the fire knocked down, crews had re-entered the structure when the mayday was called after a firefighter fell through the floor. Firefighters were able to quickly locate and extricate the firefighter.
The firefighter was evaluated by paramedics. Firefighters from Baltimore County, Harford County, and York County in Pennsylvania assisted with operations.
