At 12:27 PM West Mead #1 was dispatched to assist East Mead and Blooming Valley with an engine and water supply at a structure fire along Route 27. While Engines 28-13, 28-12, and 28-11 were responding, East Mead officers reported the fire involving a small shed near a neighbor’s garage was under control and canceled water supply. Dept 28 firefighters assisted with hand tools and then with cleanup.

Dept 28 units returned to service by 1:08 PM, only to be dispatched five minutes later for a brush fire on Livermore Road. Again, Engines 28-12, 28-11, and 28-13 responded. The power company had been operating on electrical lines and accidentally ignited a small fire that arriving units quickly contained and put out.

All 28 units returned to quarters and service by 1:40 PM.
