Bethesda/Glen Echo, MD- It was a busy Tuesday and Wednesday for the Cabin John Park Volunteer Fire Department. Around 0945 hours on Tuesday March 30th Cabin John Park Station 10 as well as other surrounding departments were alerted to a report of a house fire in Glen Echo VFD’s first due. Engine 710 responded with four personnel  to battle the blaze. When E710 was responding, Engine 711 advised that there was heavy fire coming from the second floor. Crews quickly went to work to put out the fire with E710 on the third floor. The fire was quickly contained and extinguished without any injuries. It was a good job done by all. Later that same Tuesday night, the Cabin John Park Volunteers were alerted of another house fire in Potomac (station 30′s area), but luckily there was no fire, and just a false alarm. It never stops at the Cabin John Park VFD… on Wednesday March 31st, Station 10 was alerted for a first due house fire in the nearby neighborhood of Carderock. Engine 710 and Truck 710 responded as well as Engine 730 and other surrounding departments. There was fire in a bedroom as well as part of the attic. Just like on Tuesday, all crews went to work at a break-neck speed, extinguishing the blaze and saving the house as well as family dog.
