On February 9, 1967, The roof of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church at Fourth St. and Washburn Avenue in the Brooklyn section of south Baltimore collapsed after a snow storm. This occurred during morning services trapping around 100 worshipers.
The officer of Truck 21 transmitted a second alarm for Box 6834 on arrival. All BCFD ambulances also responded. 40 people were transported to a hospital. Amazingly, there were no fatalities.
In the street above the church's collapsed roof you can see BCFD Engine 1, the Rescue Squad, a 1950 Mack with Gerstenslager bodywork. It would become Rescue 1 in 1971. Looks like all the side compartments are open.
