STORM UPDATE - Rockville units responded to dozens of calls for service related to the Tornado/weather event. Montgomery received calls for trees down on multiple structures in the Walnut Hill area. With a full Tech Rescue assignment committed to one residence, C703B & Gaithersburg Police removed 3 civilians trapped in a residence at a second incident prior to the arrival of any other resources. The occupants at this location were all uninjured and refused medical care. C703B, C703 & C703E established the Walnut Hill Area Command. A plan was quickly developed an SU703, UT703, UT703B, UT708, B708 and C708 we're sent to perform windshield assessments in multiple neighborhoods throughout Gaithersburg and Washington Grove. In addition to our normal staffing compliment, Rockville Volunteers rapidly stood up the following units - 5 Command officers UT703, UT703B, SU703, A703B, A733B.
