At 2037 on September 3rd, Stations 3, 9, 13, and 6 were dispatched for a trailer fire on Winding Way in the Lord Calvert Mobile Home Park in Lexington Park. Stations 3 & 9 immediately responded with Engine 31 with 4 personnel, Rescue 3 with 8 personnel, Engine 33 with 2 personnel and Engine 91 with 4 personnel. While responding fireboard communications advised the responding units this would be a working fire.

Fire Chief 3 arrived with fire showing from the back bedroom. Engine 31 and Rescue 3 arrived shortly after Fire Chief 3; Engine 31’s crew preformed a split lay from Short Way and stretched a 200’ 1 3/4" crosslay while Rescue 3 crew forced entry to the front door of the residence. Engine 91 arrived and completed the split lay and deployed a second a 200’ 1 3/4" crosslay as a backup line while Engine 132 laid out 1000’ of 5” supply line with Engine 33 picking it up.
