As the first winter storm pounded the mid-eastern coast, fire and ems crews kept busy throughout the state. Included was the Camden-Wyoming Fire Company. Due to the storm, there was a crew stationed in the firehouse for most of the storm. Most of the incidents where minor calls including medical assists and service calls due to the snow fall. At 1634 on Saturday, the station was dispatched to a vehicle fire at 2140 S State Street in the area of Old Mill Acres 2. EMS captain Wothers arrived on scene minutes after the dispatch to find a sedan fully involved. 41-6 under the direction of 3rd assistant chief Redick arrived on scene at 1645 and established command. Crews immediately went to work on extinguishing the fire. Engine 41-3 was advised to have their crew assist with fire suppression. Command placed the situation under control at 1704 with all units clearing the scene at 1720. Units on scene were Rescue 41-6, Engine 41-3, and DSFP. Later that night at 2128, the station was again dispatched for a vehicle fire in the area of 4322 Massachusetts Drive in the Eagle Heights development. EMS captain Wothers arrived on scene at 2135 and found the engine compartment of a truck involved. The truck had been plowing the development out when it experienced problems and caught fire. 41-6 under the direction of deputy chief Rigsby arrived on scene at 2141 and established command. Crews again went to work on extinguishment of the vehicle. Command placed the situation under control at 2151 with all units clear at 2218. Units on scene were Rescue 41-6 and Engine 41-3. Oddly both vehicles contained magnesium internal parts making extinguishment with water impossible. Crews had to use dry chemical fire extinguishers on both to extinguish the magnesium components.
