Kentland’s mini pumper takes high frequency calls in place of our engine company to better protect the first due. These calls include service calls, medical locals and outside fires. This afternoon at 1630, #RescueEngine33 was dispatched to an outside fire in company 13’s first due. The men of company 33 marked the mini pumper up and took it in place of the rescue engine in order to keep all 3 crews fully staffed on Landover Rd.

Mini Pumper 33 arrived on scene to find smoke showing from a shed. Mini pumper 33 then added an engine company. The crew stretched the 300’ inch and a half attack line and took their own hydrant across the street. The crew knocked the fire and returned the engine company. The crew from mini pumper 33 operated for approximately 2 hours before returning to serving the greater landover area.

A fire department utility truck with flashing lights is parked on a wet residential street. Large fire hoses stretch from the truck, and trees and garbage bins line the road on a cloudy day. A partially burned shed with a collapsed roof is being sprayed with water. Scattered debris, buckets, and tools are visible in the foreground, and trees surround the damaged structure. Smoke rises from under the roof of a light-colored building with visible fire damage. A partially melted tarp hangs over the side, and a blue barrel sits near the corner. Trees and sunlight are visible in the background. Heavy rain pours onto a cluttered porch beside a yellow house, with buckets, tools, and various items scattered around. Water splashes and mist fills the air, and trees and greenery are visible in the background. A covered porch with scattered household items, including buckets and a laundry basket, is filled with thick white smoke coming from a grill or smoker near the porch railing. The scene appears chaotic and cluttered.
