While a large group of Fire District #1 officers and members were atending the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore, the crew that remained in the district was treated to a steady stream of utility emergencies throughout the week and weekend. Starting Wednesday night July 21, Station 26, along with the other Fire District #1 companies responded to the following utility related runs
Wednesday July 21 - Primary line down on fire, 500 Apgar Drive
Friday July 23 - Gas line broken outside 200 Atrium Drive
Friday July 23 - Primary line down causing brush fire, opposite 500 Atrium Drive with a serious exposure problem (ironically, the PSE&G storage facility)
Saturday July 24 - Water leak from upstairs condo on Steeplechase Ct. impinging upon the electrical service of the downsatirs condo
Sunday July 25 - Fire in the electrical panel of a Canterbury Circle residence
Sunday July 25 - Hot air balloon tangled in the overhead primary lines located (ironically) just inside the New Jersey American Water Company Weston Canal Road water treatment plant
All of this along with a boat load of other runs while everyone was in Baltimore. Great job Station 26 members during a hot week and our thanks to the other D1 companies for their hard work as well!
