During the first incident, companies were called to Route 9 near Municipal Place for a brush fire about 12:40 p.m.
Using the side chute of Tanker 10, the fire was extinguished in short order.
Two hours later, Engine 119 and Engine 120 investigated an activated fire alarm at a Truesdale Drive home, which appeared to be a malfunction.
Shortly thereafter, units were dispatched to another brush fire.
The incident, in which electrical wires were involved, occurred on Quaker Ridge Road.
Engines 118 and 120, along with Tanker 10, handled the matter, clearing a little over an hour later.
