On December 27, 2004 at 2:36 a.m., units from Hughesville and other surrounding companies were alerted to 9510 Dubois Road for a house fire.

Engine 22 and Chief 2B (McPherson) arrived at the same time and found no fire evident from the outside. Crews went to the second floor and found fire in the walls and attic area around the chimney. Crews from Hughesville, Newburg and LaPlata worked for approximately one hour opening up the walls and attic area to extinguish the fire.

Chief 2B was the incident commander and the last unit cleared at 4:15 AM. St. Mary’s Engine 21 (Mechanicsville) filled our quarters during this incident.
