Units were dispatched to the 400 block of Lakeview Dr for a reported wire down. Upon arrival, units found a branch that had come in contact with a primary wire, then fell into the dry brush below. Squad 22 stretched one line to knock down the fire.

At 00:15 hours, units were dispatched to the 400 block of New Milford Ave, for activated alarms. Car 20 first on-scene reported heavy smoke from the basement and transmitted the 3rd Alarm. Squad 22 arrived, took the water supply, and stretched a 1-3/4″ attack line to the front of the house and began knocking down the fire that was on the exterior of the structure. Tower 21 began primary search and located fire that had extended into the attic. A second attack line was stretched to the attic level and the fire was placed under control after about 35 minutes. 3rd Alarm units were dispatched to back fill empty firehouses.
