Just before midnight on August 31st companies 1, 3, 6 and 7 were dispatched to Leonardtown for a reported working house fire. Upon arrival of Engine 12 it was found to be a garage fully involved. Engine 32 arrived second and was directed by command to go to set up a fill-site, while their crew reported to the fireground to assist with fire attack. Engine 33 assisted in setting up a folding tank and started water shuttle operations, while the crew went to the scene to assist with Salvage and Overhaul operations.

Once the fire was extinguished both crews from 3 assisted with rolling hose and cleaning up around the scene. Both Engines 32 and 33 were back in quarters around 0200. The fire is being investigated by the Maryland State Fire Marshal Office. Chief 1 held the Command of this incident.
