The Laurel Fire Department started their morning out at approx. 0818 hours on June the 25th answering calls and returned to quarters nearly 9 hours later. The LFD responded to 13 Fire/Rescue incidents in and out of our district and 5 EMS calls during the duration of this strong precipitation that moved across the area causing flash flooding. Deputy Chief Hill coordinated the efforts in the Laurel area; Chief Mark Sheridan assisted Blades Fire Chief Ron Fensick with evacuations of two mobile home parks near Blades.
