At 19:32 Hours DeWitt Truck-3 and several mutual aide companies were dispatched to a reported fire in the area of Brooklea Dr and Limestone Plaza in the Fayetteville Fire District, crews were out on training so Engine-8 responded in place of Truck-3. Police arrived and reported a fully involved house on Feeder St behind the Town of Manlius municipal building. Fayetteville Engines 7 & 5 arrived and confirmed the police report and transmitted a SIGNAL 99 and outside operations. First arriving companies dropped their initial water on the fire trying to make a hit, then had to wait for a water supply operation to be established as Feeder St was a non-hydranted dirt road that runs along the old Erie Canal. Engine-8 arrived and backed down Feeder St and finished a  split lay of supply line and laid it out to a waiting Manlius Engine that was drafting. Fayetteville Engine-7 got a draft out of the canal supplied by their Eng-5 and DeWitt Eng-8. Once water supply was established the fire was knocked down inside of 10 minutes using a master stream and a blitz fire. Companies were back in service in about 2 hours. Fayetteville Car-1 (Chief Hildreth) had the "Feeder St Command"
