Company 2 units arrived on location with nothing evident. Upon entry, Chief 2A advised of a working fire. The fire was quickly extinguished and Command held Company 2 and Company 6. The crews from Company 6 assisted with overhaul and venting the apartment. Company 6 units cleared at 1355 hours.
Twenty minutes later, Company 6 was alerted for the investigation in the area of Bowie Shop Road and Welchbrook Drive. Chief 6A arrived and advised of a working woods fire inches from a garage and threatening a nearby house. Two additional brush trucks were alerted (Brush 2 and Brush 5). Chief 6, Chief 6B (Hayes), Engine 61 (Kearns), Jeep 6 (Capt Mckenny), and Tanker 6 (Cox) arrived minutes later and worked the perimeter quickly extinguishing the fire. Mutual aid units were cancelled and Company 6 units were back in service 30 minutes later. Later that evening, Chief 6, Squad 6, and Engine 62 were dispatched to Company 2's first due in front of AppleBee's for the auto accident. Company 2 units were already committed to a serious accident in front of WalMart. The accident was found to be minor and Chief 6 held it with one BLS unit.
