Who crashed into a firehouse in Maryland?

The members of the Volunteer Fire Company of Halfway solved one part of a mystery that occurred at their firehouse Sunday night.

Crews returned from dinner to discover a front glass door busted and the window in a rear bay door broken, Fire Chief Jamie Drawbaugh said Tuesday.

Thinking the fire hall had been vandalized, Drawbaugh said they called the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

While deputies were clearing the firehouse, Drawbaugh saw a bunch of hair by the window. When the deputies deemed it safe to enter, firefighters checked out surveillance footage and learned a deer busted through the front door and out a garage bay door window.

"It's better than the alternative, somebody breaking in and stealing stuff," Drawbaugh said.

Firefighters also found it hysterical, he said.

"We're just glad we have the video so the insurance company will believe us," Drawbaugh said. He did not have an estimate for the damage.

The deer safely escaped and left no blood or other damage, he said. If firefighters had been at the firehouse at the time the deer entered, there would have been vehicles in the bay.

The deer was in the bay for all of 46 seconds, entering at 6:46 p.m. and leaving at 6:47 p.m., Drawbaugh said.

The other mystery is where the deer came from.

It's not rutting season and Drawbaugh said there aren't really woods "close, close" to the firehouse.

There is some land behind nearby Lincolnshire Elementary School being cleared, so that might have something to do with it, Drawbaugh theorized.

The school is across U.S. 11 and a few blocks away from the 11114 Lincoln Ave. firehouse.

In one of the videos, the deer can be seen coming out of a residential driveway and crossing the street to the firehouse property.
