Today at 18:00 hrs Stations 58, 59, 61, and Baltimore County 45 were alerted for a possible structure fire. Chief 58 marked up and was advised by York County Control of the proper address and that the caller stated they had observed smoke from a pump house. Engine 58-1 (Lt.

Chief 58 set up command and advised that he had a small electrical fire which was being extinguished, and that he was holding the box to Station 58's equipment only. Crews operated for approximately 45 minutes for clean up and the box was placed in service at 18:50.
