I guess the first battalion really doesn't do anything..
                      Except fight FIRE!
On April 2, 2006  at 1420 Hrs Engine 404 was hit out as third Engine to the Town House
Fire at 11266 Fairwind Way, Reston. Engine 404 brought a secondary water supply into
the Court. The crew went to work on side C with an attack line. Engine 404 ran out of
water before his water supply Engine arrived. "Thanks for the smaller water tanks!!!" The
fire went to the third alarm bringing units from as far away as Merryfield FS30 to the
scene. Due to a fire in Prince William at the same time Dale City filled Engine 436's
Quarters. Units on the initial alarm included Engines 425, 439, 404, 412, Truck 425 and
