Tones dropped for Washington County (MD) Box 11-2 over the Frederick County dispatch on Sunday afternoon alerting Company 5 (Brunswick) & 20 (Jefferson) for mutual aid to the house fire in Knoxville.  Washington County responded with units from Company 1 (Sharpsburg), Company 6 & 8 (Boonsboro), and Company 11 (Potomac Valley).  Special service units included Washington County Rehab and Air, and Rescue Squad 20 (Special Ops).  Mutual aid units from Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and Loudoun County (Engine 616, Tanker 623, BC 603) responded.

The tanker task force companies setup water supply while Truck 5 ventilated the building.  Both squads (RS20 Jefferson, and RS20 Special Ops) provided RIT.  Fire was knocked quickly and the incident was placed under control within 30 min.  Firefighters remained on the scene for 2 hours.
