29 September 2025 - At approximately 20:30 hours, fire units were dispatched for a reported smoke investigation. AC911 later updated the call to a working garage fire in the area of Mount Troy Road and Baun Road. The correct location was determined to be inside Ridgelawn Cemetery.
Upon arrival, 317 units found a large garage fully involved, with multiple vehicles inside on fire. Truck/Rescue 260, staffed with nine volunteers, responded to assist with extinguishment and overhaul operations. This marks the second fire response within a week for Company 260.
