After a quick investigation of the area Cars 2 and 4 found a dirt path near the highway garage and continued their investiagtion on the path to find a camper that had been on fire. Baldwinsville E-8 (Vanderwater), Sq-3 (Catalino), and E-4 (A. DiGregorio) responded to extinguish the fire. Due to the size of the path the E-8 and E-4 were unable to drive to the area where the fire was located. Sq-3 which is equiped with a smaller water tank and outdoor fire hose was able to get to the area of the fire and help extinguish what was left of the camper. E-8 and E-4 stood by on scene to assist with refilling Sq-3s water tank when needed.
