Tanker 74 responded shortly after dispatch with 5 Volunteers. Units from Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department arrived on the scene to find a two story, single family home, with fire showing from an attached garage. A Working Fire Task Force and Tanker Task Force was requested, adding Engine 73 with 4 Volunteers on the run.
