07 MAR 2009 Engine 1 along with Adams County Engine 9-2 (York Springs) transfered to Adams County Station 13 (New Oxford) for the evening while Co. 13 and Co. 12 held their Banquet.

This turned out to be a unattended controlled burn that we extinguished. A big thanks to Co. 12 &13 for their hospitality and to Engine 9-2 for the friends we made.
