On May 30th, 2006 at around 1:30, station 10 was dispatched for a structure fire in a dwelling on Grays Mill Road. Engine 10 was first on scene with DFES Technicians Billy Grogan and Michelle Jackson, and company 10 members FF/EMT Nick "The Tick" Mastri and FF/EMT Chris Cubbage.

Engine 10 reported fire on the second floor of the A/B corner of the house. Batallion 1, Captain Justin Clayton, arrived to take command of the scene. FF Cubbage and FF Mastri entered the structure for interior attack, with FF Jackson third back on the hoseline.

After knocking the fire down, FFs exited the structure to allow exterior attack crews to work, and other interior crews to investigate.

Tanker 10 with Captain Boyd Morris had secured water supply at a nearby hydrant. Wagon 10 arrived with a crew of FF/EMT Rick "Radio" Webster and FF/EMT Kristin Webster to pull a backup line to the A/D corner of the house. FF/EMT-I Andrea Schaeffer responded in Ambulance 10-2 to provide an EMS unit for the scene, and to assist with manpower.

Warrenton Training Center Company 19, Cattlett Volunteer Fire Company 7 and Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company 1 also responded for apparatus and manpower assistance. New Baltimore Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company greatly appreciates the help of those who answered to the call of duty that day.
