| House Fire |
|
December 19th: At approximately 0237 hours communications alerted units for the house fire on fire on Spoonbill Drive bringing Saulston, Patetown, and Faro Fire Departments on the alarm. As units were nearing the scene a working fire was evident. First arriving units found heavy fire in the garage extending into the dining room and kitchen. Due to other understaffed units New Hope Fire Department were put on the assignment. Firefighters from Patetown and Saulston quickly pushed the fire back into the garage while others performed salvage in protecting the remaining part of the house. While operating the structure became unsafe as the electricity had not been disconnected yet and began sparking. Progress Energy took care of the electricity and units began operations again. Additional overhaul work had to be accomplished including extinguishing fire in the crawl space and attic area near the garage. Units remained on scene for several hours performing extensive overhaul. Saulston Car 1 had the command. Saulston Portable 6 and Patetown Car 1 had operations and interior.

| Mutual Aid House Fire |
|
July 28th: At Approximately 1820 Hours Communications alerted Saulston, Faro, and East Wayne Fire to a structure fire in the 5000 block of Wayne Memorial Drive. After a few minutes Saulston Car 2 arrived confirming smoke and flames showing. As units began arriving from Saulston (first due) Communications advised Car 2 that some units were understaffed and thus added Patetown Fire on the alarm. Saulston and Patetown units began extinguishing the fire in the double wide mobile home while additional Faro and East Wayne units setup water supply, manpower, and assisted with fighting the fire. Crews went to work from side Alpha and side Charlie to contain the blaze. Shortly thereafter the fire was marked under control with additional work to perform salvage and overhaul. Units began clearing after the investigation and finishing salvage and overhaul. Saulston Car 2 had the Command and Patetown Car 1 had the interior.

| Busy Meeting Night |
|
June 28th: Members began assembling at the firehouse tonight for the normal meeting night with some doing some intense foosball playing and others doing work around the firehouse prior to beginning the Board meeting and training meeting. The meetings were interrupted at approximately 1925 hours for the report of a grill and deck fire in Saulston Fire's first due. Patetown Fire Engine 1, Engine 2, Tanker 1, and Car 1 were en route immediately. As Engine 1 neared the scene Saulston Car 2 and Saulston Engine 1 arrived and cancelled all units as incident could be handled with units on scene. Not more than 10 minutes after returning to the station Patetown units were again put on the street this time for the technical rescue assignment for a person with their hand caught in some type of machine on Mt. Carmel Chuch Road. Engine 1, Truck 10, Brush, and Car 1 were en route immediately. While en route Communications advised that it was a 2 year old with their hand stuck in a computer.
