Just past 11PM on Saturday evening, January 21st, the volunteers were dispatched for a car fire at the Getty Station at the corner of Route 303 and South Greenbush Road. While en-route Control advised 11-3 Pete Byrne that the vehicle was in the stations parking lot with smoke coming from the dashboard area. Control also advised 11-3 that they were getting multiple calls for this incident. Once on the scene Asst. Chief Byrne directed the 11-2000, driven by Ex-Chief Ken Gordon, to approach the scene by South Greenbush Road, thus keeping apparatus off Route 303. The 11-EQ, driven by Lt Brett Wolowitz, was directed into the stations parking lot to stage.

The 2000's crew stabilized the vehicle and removed the battery connections to lessen the danger. The crew then took apart the driver's side door and dashboard to get to the fire which was promptly extinguished.
