On Sunday, February 7, 2010, at 15:20 hours, the Baltic FD along with Lisbon FD were dispatched to 138 Potash Hill Road for a grass/brush fire. Upon arrival of Car 224, a heavy smoke condition was noticed. It was unknown were the heavy smoke was originating from. All incoming units were staged at the paper mill until the fire was located. Once the fire was located all units were brought into the scene by Baltic command (Car 224). Baltic engine crews with Lisbon Forestry 154 and Gator 154 entered a field to make their way to the fire. Once the crews had made it through the field and a small wooded area, they had found the source of the heavy smoke, a field fire that had already burned approx. 1 acre. Baltic and Lisbon crews went to work trying to contain the leading edges of the fire line. An Occum engine was dispatched to Westminister Road to monitor that area for extension. Scotland Forestry 116 and Engine 116 were requested durning the incident, to assist with crews already working. Forestry 116 was canceled and Engine 116 was sent to Station 24 for stand by. Fire was contained an overhaul complete at approx. 16:30 hours. Approx. 1 1/2 to 2 acres were burned. A D.E.P. rep. did respond to the scene for a walk of the burned area. Units on scene from Baltic were, ET 124, ET 224, Tanker 124 and Rescue 124 with Gator 124, from Lisbon were Forestry 154, Service 154 with Gator 154 and Occum Engine 42.
