Prince Georges Fire Department units along with mutual aid from Howard, Anne Arundel, and Montgomery counties responded to the working basement fire in Laurel, MD on Tuesday.  Firefighters arrived to find smoke showing from the 2-story, middle of the row townhouse.  Firefighters made an aggressive attack on a fire in the basement and the incident was put under control in less than 30 min.

Here are some crew and apparatus shots.

On Saturday November 1st, 2014, the Carol Stream FPD (IL) was dispatched to possible structure fire at 510 Chippewa Trail. First arriving companies Bn 28 and Tower 28 reported a 1-1/2 story frame with smoke and fire showing. Companies made a quick aggressive interior attack. The fire was under control once I arrived. Overhaul was in progress on the roof where the fire had burned through near the chimney.
