Today we ask that you please take a moment to remember our friend Mark Falkenhan who sadly passed away on this day in 2011 while searching for trapped occupants on an apartment fire in Parkville. We also ask that you keep in mind Mark’s Family. Mark was a close friend to many and responsible for the training of thousands of firefighters across the country. Mark also served as a Firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire Department and The US Secret Service.
I did a moment of silence and a prayer. RIP Brother.
Thoughts and blessings to his family. Thanks for this post....

***2nd ALARM FIRE***
All units from the #48house and surrounding companies have been operating for a little over an hour on a #1stdue dwelling fire on Franklinville Rd. (Box 48-15).First arriving #engine481 went on scene with a large 2 story single family dwelling that was fully involved. The incident was quickly upgraded to a second alarm and units are still operating on the scene.
PLEASE AVOID THE AREA
The volunteers and career firefighters with Baltimore County and Harford County did all they could to save the home. It was fully engulfed prior to first in. Everyone around here understands that Kingsville 48 is a great fire company. There is no question. Kingsville stayed on scene for 12 hours, even showing the loving gesture of finding and then burying the family dog....What more can you say about the makeup of these great people. Spend a few minutes with these men and women...they are personal friends, some having grown up on and around this farm, and many of the men and women that fought this fire are considered family up here. There is no blame to cast here; nothing but heartfelt gratitude and respect to you all.
This is horrible... I could see the smoke from my house. I live off of mt. Vista. Had fire engine and ems go past me on bel air road. I really hope both animals are ok.... so devastating. Praying for the family!
Our KVFD is amazing! Reading the story of how they found and buried the beloved family dog on the family property at 1:00 am in the morning had me sobbing. Such caring men and women. Proud to live in Kingsville/Upper Falls! A tragedy for the Von Paris family. 😢 Praying that they can recover from all of this loss. 🙏🏻
Mark McMahon so sorry for this tragic loss. Prayers for you and your family. My family knows your loss too well. Lost our home in a fire 3 years ago. Prayers for strength and support❤️
So sorry for the family who lost their home and pet yesterday. Such devastating losses. Thank you responders, especially to the KVFC. Also, thank you to all of the other fire companies that responded. I was turning onto Mt Vista from Belair Rd about 5:15 yesterday when I saw the huge cloud of black smoke from the fire. We’ve lived in Kingsville over 49 years. KVFC put out a chimney fire in our home years ago. We totally support KVFC and the men and women who respond to our emergencies.
Was this house right next to the entrance of the park on the same side of Franklinville Rd?
I passed all these engines coming home from work. They were in Rt. 7 and then passed me on My. Vista. I hope they are ok.
Thanks to all the firemen for their hard work.Thanks for taking care of the poor dog.
Kingsville Fire Department is amazing!!! Praying for the family!!! Mamma Mish’s Homemade Dishes has extended help to the family with meals and anything else they may need!! We would also be honored to deliver breakfast lunch or dinner next week on us to you all at the KVFD!!!! A thank you and God’s blessings! You just let us know what day!!!!
THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE AWESOME MEN AND WOMEN OF THE KVFC and SURROUNDING FIRE COMPANIES FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY!! Thank goodness you are there for us!! WE ARE SO GRATEFUL!

I grew up in Kingsville and will always appreciate all the Kingsville Fire Company has done for the community!!!! Sending ❤️
Our thoughts and prayers are for everyone involved.
The county should require and .maybe give a tax benefit to areas with no hydrants and require that homes in these areas have fire suppression systems installed in homes in these areas.
Prayers and thoughts are with the entire VonParis family😥
Glad everyone is ok..
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family that lost the house and the men and women who responded.

Thirty-three years ago today at 1:30 p.m., an Amtrak train crashed in Chase, MD. 16 people died and 164 were injured. At the time it was the deadliest crash in Amtrak history. All who worked that incident will never forget. Join us in remembering the victims of this crash and the heroic efforts of all who worked so hard to save lives that day. EA
I cannot believe it's been that long, such a horrific 💔 tragedy.
Remember hearing the crash from our house! So terrible, how many people were lost. Our prayers to all!
That was the day I moved into my house here next to the fire department. It was so busy up there that day and I had no knowledge of the crash because I was here cleaning getting ready to move in with no radio or TV. Cell phones were not something everyone had back then. I thought to myself what did I do moving next to a fire department.33 years later I have to say that some of my best neighbors came out of that building. And they’ve come to my aid quite a few times. And I am forever grateful. Thank you all for what you do
Just like yesterday.
I remember that I was there it was bad
