[Scan-DC] Apparent working fire in PG

[ltbrown122 at aol.com]

An Air unit is actually an air cascade unit - it is used to refill the SCBA air bottles after the firefighters come out of the fire so they don't have to go out of service to refill them.

However, in the past when they have had auto fires in garage areas and they have a large area of smoke to clear out they have called for one of the air boats that they use on the potomac river to clear out the smoke, but that was not the case on this particular call.

To clarify, an "air unit" blows fresh air throughout the structure after
the fire is out, right? Sorry if the question is dumb, but I doubt MoCo
has aircraft in its FD.
