Yesterday was a high wind, low humidity day in Virginia.  There were multiple brush fires throughout the state, including several in Albemarle County, VA where I work and we were on-duty.  Units had just finished controlling a 10 acre blaze when a single engine response was struck for a small 30x50 brush fire.  Engine 151 was returning from the 10 acre fire and took it in as they were close.  The attached picture was taken by a passerby as 151 pulled in to find the 30x50 area included a large out building next to the house. the four man company went to work, knocking down the fire and kept it from involving the house until additional companies arrived. 151 is a great house which several of our site members have visited.  Engine 151 would normally be 5th due to this area, so I guess you could say we had our own "G-man" in effect yesterday!
