There was an incident in Gambrills way back when I was acting sergeant for quite a spell. Don’t remember why or the year. I did not remember the incident until Karl Decker reminded me on the parking lot of Pep Boys where we met up to get a police scanner from him. ( at the time he was into the scanners ). We listened in for a long time until someone pulled the plug. Ended that.
The story he told me of that incident in Gambrills, went as follows.

Radio dispatched a call from a women stating her 10-96 son was on the roof threatening to jump off. Two story house….you get the picture. Off we go. Fire Department. Go. Karl AJM, (not yet contracted). And Mike F.
On the scene there he was on the peak. Those three went up. I was on the ground keeping score. The shit (HAIL MARY X3) was on. All I saw was a wrestling match on the edge. His legs over the edge. Their legs over the edge and a few obscene words. (In today’s world would have got them a 6 day suspension.)
The tussle went on for a bit. But they saved his ass. For then.
Down the fire ladder. Job well done!
So I wrote them up for their heroics. Went to the Chief. The award dinner was good. Can’t remember the menu…..wasn’t hotdogs.??
All three got the Silver Star. And I didn’t break a sweat.
Karl could probably give more details. I can’t remember sh-t.
