Wednesday November 10, 2010 at 0940 hours, Chief 6 (Riffe), Chief 6A (Montgomery), Chief 6C (Morris), Engine 61 (Capt Collins) and Squad 6 (Sgt Bingham) were alerted for the building on fire at 100 Fairground Road. Squad 6, in the vicinity (en route to a funeral), arrived reporting nothing evident from the 2 story group home. Once inside, moderate smoke was found on the 2nd floor with an activated sprinkler head. A small fire had originated in the furniture but was quickly extinguished. Within minutes the Box was scaled back to Charles Engine 8 (Marbury), Charles Truck 1 (La Plata) and Squad 6.
