Monday morning April 19th at 6:44am the station was dispatched for the Engine Company to assist NCC Stat 26 on the small non-dwelling structure fire at 944 Vnadyke Greenspring Road. Engine 45 w/4, Captain Brian Hunter and Squad 45 w/5, Capatain Alex Carrow made the response in several minutes. Engine 45 arrived right behind Engine 26 . Both units encounter a small garage well involved with exposures to a single family home and a neighbors garage. The crews from both Engines placed a handline in service. Squad 45 arrived behind Tanker 26 and their crew placed a 2nd line in service to protect the residence and also checked it for extension. The bulk of the fire was knocked down within 10 minutes. Crews encountered small containers with used fuels stored inside making it difficult to extingish. One counter later on failed causing the fire to flair back up again, command requested additional resources from Sta 44, 24, 27 and the Delaware Air National Guard for a foam unit. DNREC was also requested for the fluid run off. The fire is being investigated by the Delaware State Fire Marshalls Office. Squad 53 covered Station 45 during the fire. Photo's courtesy Joe Jones.
