MICU 84-2 evaluated the vehicle occupant. Rescue 62 arrived and assisted with controlling hazards and ensuring the fire was fully extinguished. Crews were in service for about 30 minutes. About 15 minutes after crews returned to the station, the call came in for an accident with injuries at Porters Mill Road and Schoolhouse Road.
