Brush 831 and Engine 841B responded to the area of Powder Mill Road and Ammendale Road in Beltsville this afternoon for a report of a brush fire. Units arrived and found the woods on fire in the area. The Brush Unit and Engine stretched lines and extinguished the fire quickly. The cause of the fire was due to homeless people burning trash.

This was Brush 831's first call for service since in went into service.
