Narrative: 

Engine 10 was dispatched to an outside garbage can fire. They found a metal garbage container with smoke and flames coming from the inside. Using a water can, E10 quickly extinguished the fire. The can was on a 10’x10’ concrete pad with two grills nearby, and there was no exposure damage as a result of the fire. Firefighters found that one grill was still warm, and the garbage can had charcoals inside. E10 overhauled the trash can to ensure no further fire risk before leaving the area.
