LOCATION: 1299 NAUGAHYDE RD BOX: 0317, off Gorsuch Road near the railroad tracks and Tannery Road, Westminster, MD 21157

INCIDENT Classification:  FIRE SUPPRESSION - EMS/RESCUE

INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: At 12:46 p.m. Carroll County firefighters and EMS personnel were dispatched to a report of a house fire in the 1200 unit block of Naugahyde Road in Westminster.

INITIAL ON-SCENE UNIT and Initial Findings: Upon arrival of the first unit, WFD E-33, at 12:57, Lt. 3-1 (JE,) found the 1½ story Cape Cod house with attached garage, fully involved. Eight volunteer fire departs responded from Carroll and Baltimore Counties.

ACTIONS TAKEN: Lt. 3-1 Josh Evans assumed incident command. The building had already sustained extensive damage – collapsed roof. Initiated exterior attack. Requested tanker task force at 1:02 p.m. Fire was declared under control at 13:27 p.m.

According to a subsequent Nov. 22, 2014 report by Deputy State Fire Marshall Bruce D. Bouch, “Nearly 40 firefighters from Westminster, Reese, Hampstead, Gamber, Pleasant Valley, Manchester, Taneytown and Arcadia Volunteer Fire Departments brought the fire under control within 45 minutes after arrival.  First arriving crews found the garage and a portion of the home next to the garage, fully engulfed in flames.  No other injuries were reported during the incident. 

Bouch’s Nov. 22 report further indicated, “A team of investigators from the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office are actively working to determine the cause for the fire and death of the homeowner at 1299 Naugahyde Road in Westminster. 

“The 12:46 p.m. blaze on Friday, November 21, 2014, was initially called in by the homeowner, Gordon Edwin Fisher, Jr. (75), and the phone was disconnected shortly afterward.  The neighbor, a retired Baltimore County firefighter and a Carroll County Deputy Sheriff arrived first and located the victim in cardiac arrest, at the front door of the 1½ story Cape Cod style dwelling with attached garage. They quickly removed Mr. Fisher to the exterior and initiated CPR.  An EMS crew arrived from Westminster Fire Department and continued treatment; however Paramedics were unsuccessful in their attempts to revive the victim.

“The body of the victim was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for determination of cause of death.  The origin and cause for the fire remain under investigation at this time.  Damage to the structure and contents is estimated at nearly $250,000.”

October 25, 2011: Cricket making its way to Carroll County

Cricket making its way to Carroll County

October 25, 2011|By Chris Eckard, The Baltimore Sun


When Debbie Buenger, a former elementary school physical education teacher now at East Middle School in Westminster, introduced the game of cricket to her class one rainy afternoon last year, the excitement blew her away.

"The kids absolutely loved it," Buenger said.

Within the first hour, the class started to grasp the basics and was off playing its first competitive game. There were a few hitches, like remembering to hold onto the bat, but overall Buenger couldn't have been more surprised.

Last year, the United States Youth Cricket Association donated plastic cricket sets to each of the public elementary schools in Carroll County, including Eldersburg, where Buenger had taught.

Taylorsville United Methodist Church: Footsteps of Paul ~ 5 Big insights ~Mars Hill Athens


NOV 26, 2014 Posted by taylorsvilleumc


What does it mean when you are so influential that people want to retrace your footsteps? Saint Paul was that kind of man. I wanted to walk in Saint Paul’s footsteps; To maybe come to know a little of what drove and empowered him to share the Gospel of Jesus to “the ends of the earth;” to understand a little of what the Roman world was like at that time in history; and to better understand how one person can, literally, “Change the world.”

Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some insights from this journey. The Christians near Jerusalem say that the land is “the fifth Gospel.” In other words, when you see the land and understand where the historical places are located, what the citizens were doing and what the geography looked like, then we can have a better understanding of the biblical witness. This is definitely true of Paul’s witness in the New Testament.

Can we change the world too? Paul believed that he was making a difference in the known world. He was commissioned by the resurrected Jesus to preach to the gentiles. We are all commissioned by Jesus, just sometimes that commissioning is less obvious than a blinding light and a stay in Damascus. An encounter with Jesus changes lives, and in turn, we are to be God’s agents to transform the world. What has Jesus commissioned you to do?
