Squad 3 Second-Arriving
on Clinton House Fire

June 13, 1454 hrs
reported by Deputy Chief DJ Mills

Just as the severe thunderstorms were moving through the Clinton section of P.G. County, RS-3 was alerted, third due special service, to Kilarney St. for the house fire. RS-3 responded with 4 volunteers, leaving another crew at the station. RS-3 arrived on scene as the first due special service and second piece of apparatus overall. RS-3 conducted a primary search (which proved to be negative), ventilated, threw ground ladders, and opened up the ceiling area in the basement. A smoldering fire was found in between floors of the house and was quickly extinguished by Co. 40. RS-3 returned to service in just under an hour.
