Yesterday was a very busy canteen day. It started off with a building fire in the Reston area which our CERT partners handled with CAN400 and then a large extended operation gas leak in the Rt 50 & Stringfellow road area of Fairfax. While way out of our normal area, our crew of Mo and Sophie changed their personal schedules and managed to respond with CAN422A. Using up all our onboard supplies, our crew made an emergency supply run to a local 7/11 to restock Gatorade and water which is highly unusual. Eventually our CERT partners responded with CAN400 (after their fire event earlier) to relieve CAN422 crew. Eventually the situation was terminated around 1:00-1:30 am after about 7 hours.
We give a big shout out to our canteen crews and our CERT partners for all the hard work during an exceptionally busy evening.
