Sykesville Engine 124 laid 1,200 feet of supply line from the intersection of Poole Road to the scene while its crew assisted on the fire attack. The fire was extinguished quickly before it extended to the rest of the structure and the supply line was not needed. Sykesville's firefighters on Tower 12 assisted with overhauling and smoke removal. Sykesville's two medic units assisted on the scene with firefighter rehab. and monitoring.
