 At 6 a.m. on Saturday, September 15th, Truck Company 8 loaded up with 6 personnel and headed north to New Castle County (Delaware) Station 12 (Christiana) for a day-long standby. Christiana units were traveling to Dover to attend their Annual Delaware State Firemen's Convention. Engine 7 from Water Witch (Port Deposit) also made the trip to serve as the fill-in wagon for the day. Upon arrival, both crews made contact with Christiana personnel to obtain map books and radios. One of the Station 12 Chiefs held a brief staff meeting over coffee, bagels, and Dunkin Donuts to familiarize the Cecil County guests with running assignments and procedures. Both crews spent the remainder of the morning talking shop and eyeballing Christiana's station.
