Frederick County working a large brush fire in the 15000 block of 
Sabillisville Road, on the mountain, in CO 10/Thurmont 1st Due.   Fire is a 
fast mover, going up the mountain.  Several occupied dwellings in danger. 
Full Brush task force is working. Has jumped the fire line numerous times. 
At one point, units had to do a rapid evac because the fire was closing in 
on both them and the brush units.  Sabillisville Road, Foxfield-Deerfield 
road, Eyler Valley Flynt Road all closed.  Have just about all Frederick 
County Brush trucks working, (Brush units from Thurmont, Emmitsburg, Rocky 
Ridge, Graceham, Middletown, Lewistown, Libertytown, Woodsboro, New Midway, 
Independents) about 10 or so from Carroll, (Taneytown, Union Bridge, New 
Windsor, Pleasant Valley and Westminister), and several more from Franklin & 
Adams Co Pa.  MSP Helo Tpr 3 is giving overhead cover.  Staging for all 
inbound units is Catoctin High School.
Command requesting the "old military style" brush trucks to respond, as 
apparently, the new stuff can't make it up the mountain.
Ops on this are Frederick Fire Tac 30, Tac 31, and a patch running on 
46.440.
