HUNDERTMARK, William H.
Baltimore City Fire Department ~ Baltimore ~ Maryland January 5, 1931 The Baltimore Country Club, a 30 room wood frame building on Club Road in Roland Park, was well involved when Engine Co. No. 44 arrived and quickly went 4 alarms. After the fire was knocked down, a group of firemen were on the porch of the structure playing a hose pipe on the smoldering timbers. Suddenly, the porch collapsed into the cellar below, trapping 6 firemen. Rescuers climbed through an opening under the collapsed porch and dragged out all of the firemen, except for Fireman William H. Hundertmark (E-44) who was trapped under a large beam. Department Surgeon, Dr. Oliver Lloyd, heroically crawled into the smoldering debris and gave Fireman Hundertmark an injection of adrenalin in an effort to save his life. Sadly, when fellow firemen were finally able to free Fireman Hundertmark, he was dead. Fireman William H. Hundertmark was 46 years old and had served 21 years.
