Ladder 41-1 was first on scene and reported a garage fire with fire showing. Engine 43 arrived next and secured their own water supply and two handlines were stretched to start to extinguish the fire. Engine 38, Traffic 38 and Assistant 38 made the response. On arrival Engine 38's crew stood by in case they were needed but due to a quick response from City units the fire was already extinguished. Fire Marshal's were called to the scene to investigate as well.

The crew from the Engine then assisted City crews with clean up and re-packing the hoselines and the 5 inch supply line on Engine 43. Traffic 38 assisted with traffic control around the fire scene as well.
