divdivdiv UPDATE 630pm divdivbrdivdivEngine 281 was struck by a tractor trailer while on the scene of a separate incident this morning on the Beltway near Rt 50 sending 4 of our members to PG Trauma Center. Three of our members were treated and released. One member Lieutenant Ryan Emmons was transferred to Union Memorial in Baltimore to undergo surgery on his right arm and is listed in critical condition. Surgery is now completed and Ryans arm has been reattached and has good blood flow. The same Dr that did Ryans surgery just last month did a successful surgery on a rare double arm transplant on a 26-year-old infantryman at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Chief Alter is at the hospital along with his friends and family. At this time Ryan is NOT allowed visitors. Please keep Ryan in your thoughts and prayers.nbspdivdivbrdivdivWest Lanham Hills VFD thanks everyones calls message and all the departments that offered help.
