Kuhl Hose was dispatched to assist Belle Valley for a Brush Fire just after 1 p.m. Saturday, on arrival of Chief 361 he reported a large area approximately 1/2 acre burning.  With gusting winds it complicated the suppression effort.  361 special called for 689 and a tanker from Kuhl Hose.  Crews from Belle Valley were at a Pump operation class when the fire was dispatched and responded.  Chief 7x was the instructor and used the experience for real life training.  On arrival crews pulled both 1" red lines as well as the other brush fire equipment and assisted with extinguishment.  Crews were on the scene for just under 1 hour. 

Shortly after going in-service from the Belle Valley brush fire we were dispatched to assist Wattsburg at Phillipsville and Knoyle roads.  Initial reports were of an exposure of a barn.  Kuhl Hose sent an engine, tanker and mini pumper 689.  On arrival crews again pulled the 1" red line and also used Indian fighters, rakes, and shovel to assist with the extinguishment and protect the exposure.  Crews were on the scene for just under 1/2 hour.
