On Monday, August 15, 2011, shortly after lunch time, Sykesville, along with several Howard County units were alerted for Box Alarm 3-5 for the house on fire at 2151 Mt View Road. Station 12 quickly responded with Tower 12 and Engine 124. The Tower and Engine were the 2nd and 3rd arriving pieces and were quickly put to work performing multiple duties to assist with extinguishment and overhaul. The fire was brought under control in about 30mins; strong work and a good job to all companies who worked the incident. There were no reported injuries and cause of the fire was still under investigation. This was the 3rd Box Alarm of the day Company 12 ran into Howard County due to severe weather.
