***Brush and House Fire***
Station 4 Volunteers knocked out 7 runs today including this brush and house fire while conducting our regular Wednesday bingo.
At 6:20pm, Engine 45 and Special Unit 44 were alerted for a brush fire in the 1600 block of Crottlestown Rd. Crews found a 50 x 50 foot area involved and made quick work of it. K9 Blaze was on scene barking orders and assisting with "wetting down" the perimeter.
Shortly after backing into the firehouse, Squad 41 and Truck 42 were out the door for a house fire in the 200 block of Miller Street. Squad 41 located fire on the rear porch and began opening up. Truck 42 laddered the roof and cut out the burnt section. Fire was contained to the rear porch.

***Hybrid Vehicle Battery Fire***
Engine 45 responded for the vehicle fire in the 2900 block of LWW just after 11am. Crews found a hybrid BMW that was already on fire months ago. As a salvage crew was removing the battery, it caught fire again. The business was able to remove the battery from the car and cover it with a hybrid vehicle fire blanket. Crews checked the vehicle and battery, finding no heat the scene was left with the property managers.
