Find em Hot, Leave em Wet
Didn't hear the call over for a special service from St. Mary's (since Calvert likes to triple pull from one company
).Is Calvert Truck 3 in service?

I think so. Tanker 7 for sure, call was for backup tanker, heard another tanker on initial dispatch (was watching TV at the time though)
Engine 33, Tanker 3 ....
Forestry will be out in the morning....

I heard them call for forestry, sounds like a brush fire.

FWIW, Forestry no longer exists in the Southern Maryland region. The closest Forestry unit has to come from somewhere either up North or the Eastern Shore.
In that case, it sounds like a brush fire. I only assumed it wasn't a house fire, because usually any 3 box puts one of our companies on it (usually 9 and 7), and I didn't hear any called.

That's why I heard them say forestry won't be out until the morning. That's a long way, but seems like morning is going to be after the fact.
Sounds like they have it knocked now, working hot spots...
Makes sense, now. It was an odd callout, clearly a working fire (smoke and flames report) but no "side A, B," etc. Had a hard time making sense of the radio traffic on this one, thanks for the clairfication as to what was going on.
