The upgraded assignment brought Engine 101, Engine 102 (from the motor vehicle collision), Brush 105 and Ambulance 109 from New Windsor. Engine 31's crew forced entry through the front doors and found the house charged with smoke and quickly searched the large farm house for the source. Chief 3-1 (J.

Engine 31's crew found a small fire in the basement and quickly extinguished it and Uniontown Road Command held the assignment with Stations 3 and 10.
