Just a couple hours after the beginning of the new year on January 1st 2018, units were alerted for Box Alarm 1-4 for fire in the basement of the Mt Airy Apartments on Watersville Road. E152 (FF3 Williamson) and C15 (FC Nalborczyk) responded on the box with 5 volunteers. Units from Mt Airy VFC went on the scene with a fire in the laundry room of the apartment building and requested the rapid intervention dispatch. Carroll Chief 1 had the Watersville Road command. E152 arrived 2nd and assured CCE12 with fire extinguishment and checking for extension. Crews operated for a short time before the box was scaled back.
