At 15:05 Sunday St Mary's Companies 9, 3 and 7 were dispatched mutual aid to Solomon’s Island for a reported boat fire across from the Tiki Bar. Within a minute of dispatch Engine 91, Tower 9, and Engine 33 responded along with Hollywood Engine 73.

Solomon’s Engine 31 arrived on scene with a working boat fire and took their own hydrant. They deployed an initial attack line and Engine 91 arrived shortly after and laid out from a secondary hydrant and the crew stretched a backup line and assisted in extinguishment. Two members from Tower 9 boarded Solomon’s Fire Boat 3 and assisted with extinguishment and overhaul.

The fire was quickly extinguished and units operated on the scene for about an hour before returning to service.

 
Units: Engine 91, Tower 9, Engine 33, Engine 73, Chief 9B
 
Mutual Aid: Solomons Engine 31, Solomons Fire Boat 3, Solomons Chief 3, Solomons Ambulance 39
