On February 8 at 0248 hours (2:40 am), Frederick County Emergency Communications sounded Box Alarm 17-44 for a mobile home on fire in the 13600 block of Glissans Mill Rd. First arriving Chief 15-1 of the New Market VFC advised of a single story mobile home with smoke showing. The initial attack crew from New Market Engine 152 encountered a working fire upon entering the home. The crew from Engine 12 stretched a secondary handline to the front door, but the crew was then reassigned to assist with overhaul. Tanker 1 arrived and set up water supply utilizing nurse tankers due to the small amounts of water being used during the incident. Crews operated for approximately 1 hour before being placed in service.

 
Units: Engine 12, Tanker 1, Medic 19
