On Saturday March 4 around 4pm Golden's Bridge Fire Department was dispatched to 12 Mohawk Trail for reported Smoke in the Structure. Within in minutes Car 2141,Car 2142, Engine 140 and Tanker 1 were responding. Engine 138 & Engine 139 were on the road a few minutes after that. Car 2142 was first on scene and reported he had smoke in the basement and a odor of electrical burning. When Car 2141 arrived he assumed command and Car 2142 assumed the operations position. Engine 140 positioned at the end of the driveway and sent the crew in fully geared up and with tools to meet up with Car 2142 to further investigate. Tanker 1 arrived and staged behind Engine 140 ready to feed the engine if needed. Engine 138 went to the water source and stood by in case even more water was needed. After a in depth infestation crews found a burnt up control box on the boiler unit. Golden's Bridge Units were back in service in about a hour.
