Firemen Hurt and Water Crisis Strikes Doubs Area
Three Carroll Manor Fire Company members were overcome by heat as about 50 firefighters battled a three hour blaze at George Sheetz’s home near Doubs. Officials could not estimate damages, and cause remained undetermined. Separate brush fires on South Mountain and near Shirley Highway kept fire crews busy amid a drought warning. City water officials warned of low Monocacy River flow, increasing chemical treatment and odor near Carroll Creek, while Braddock Heights residents faced a water-use ban.
