Dispatched advised of a structure fire in town on west 7^th street. This box assignment brought 74 (Delmar) and 14 (Sharptown) to the scene. E 81-4 with Deputy Chief Sheridan cleared the medical assist and responded and arrived first to find a detached garage with heavy smoke showing. E-4 laid in at the hydrant and made their attack. E/T 81-5 arrives and picks up the hydrant and crew assists with fire suppression. Tower 81 and E/T 74-2 arrive and manpower performs ventilation.

Despite the efforts of firefighters the garage sustained heavy fire and smoke damage. Laurel units would respond to 2 additional fires before the day was over.
