up. Unfortunately the fire occurred at Midlego Station 10 while Engine 10 was out on a fire alarm with water
flow activation. The fire was the grill on the roof which was not turned off when 10 caught the fire alarm,
there was no damage to the station or grill and no firefighters were injured. Upon returning from the fire
alarm Engine 10 crew was still able to cook their steaks and enjoy some college football with no
interruptions during the game. The Fire Chief was on scene with command, and after the fire Engine 5 ran
out of St 10 until Engine 10 could return to quarters.
