Low water at Triadelphia Reservoir exposes hidden history

Aug 10, 2023
OLNEY, Md. — A curious local drone pilot has been posting videos to Twitter after discovering what appears to be the ruins of a lost Valley community on the bottom of Triadelphia Reservoir.
The reservoir has been dramatically drawn down by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, as the agency conducts a sediment control project near Brighton Dam. As a result, experts say hidden history has been exposed by the exceptionally low water.
“As I flew over the one area, that's when I realized there was a good foundation and it was an older structure,” said drone pilot Tim Pruss of Olney, Maryland as he described some of the shots he has of the valley ruins.
“I don't know if it was part of a mill or if it was someone's house,” said Pruss’ wife Yvette, who is a teacher following her husband's aerial adventures.

20-year-old charged with setting massive fire to Reisterstown Advance Auto Parts
July 19, 2023
BALTIMORE -- A 20-year-old man was arrested after a firefighter was injured in what officials are calling an arson at an Advance Auto Parts store Tuesday evening in Reisterstown.
Mayday, a distress signal, was called at 9:44 p.m. at the Advance Auto Parts store in a shopping plaza in the 11900 block of Reisterstown Road, where a three-alarm fire raged.
Police said Elijah Morgan has been charged with first-degree arson. He was located at the scene of the fire.
Police said Morgan was taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation.
Firefighters said the flames were difficult to extinguish because of the materials inside the building.
According to the Baltimore County Fire Department, a lieutenant was injured after part of the ceiling fell on them while battling the fire.
A rescue team was sent inside to rescue him.
"He was disoriented, but he was OK," a Baltimore County Fire spokesperson said.
Officials said the firefighter was removed from the fire and treated with non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been released from the hospital.
