In the overnight hours of Saturday October 18, 2014, at 0039 hours, the North Beach VFD, Dunkirk VFD, Huntingtown VFD & Prince Frederick VFD were alerted for the House Fire at 3805 16th Street in Chesapeake Beach. The Huntingtown VFD Assistant Chief (Morris), Captain (Riffe), Engine 62 (Sgt Miller) & Tanker 6 (Farrell) responded on the call. Upon arrival of the first incoming units, smoke was showing from the one-story wood frame residence. Crews searched through moderate smoke conditions for the location of the fire and found a fire in the kitchen and pantry. A quick knockdown of the fire was made as additional units opened up, checking for extension. The crew from Engine 62 assisted with overhaul before returning to service at 0115 hours.
