Early this morning Station 19-3 and Station 19-5 were dispatched to a deck fire in the Windmill Club. Due to multiple calls, Howell Police asked Chief 19-3-66 if they should fill the box alarm. The 1st alarm assignment was dispatched. Upon arrival, Chief 19-3-66 located a deck on fire with extension up the wall of the multi family residence. Command was established, a 360 was completed as well as evacuating neighboring units. Engine 19-3-75 with Lieutenant 19-3-71 secured a water source and stretched a line to the rear of of the building and began aggressively extinguishing the exterior fire while another crew stretched a backup line. Both crews then made entry into two separate units. Ladder 19-5-90 arrived on location and setup for roof operations on the front of the building. A second alarm was transmitted bringing in additional units from Freehold, Jackson, Lakewood and Brick. The fire was extinguished in both units and units cleared the scene after a few hours. The cause of the fire is being investigated by Howell Fire Bureau.

We thank our mutual aid partners for their assistance!

Any chance the fire department can make a post one day saying what is causing so many fires? I don’t mean specific cause to any specific fire, but is there something us residents can do to make our homes safer?

Last night stations 19-2 and 19-5 were dispatched to a reported structure fire in the area of Hulses Corner road (called in by a passing motorist). Upon arrival 19-5-67 declared a working fire and upgraded to a box alarm assignment. Shortly later he added station 19-3, and stations 54/55 from Jackson Township. 19-5-66 arrived and assumed command, and Engine 19-3-77 arrived and stretched two 1 3/4in lines. Tanker 19-3-78 supplied water while crews from 19-2, 19-5, and Jackson assisted with ventilation and opening up the structure. Crews cleared just before midnight and turned the scene over to Howell Fire Bureau for investigation. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Thankfully nobody was home at the time of the fire but crews did rescue multiple animals from the inside of the structure. Well done by all companies on scene, and thank you to the cover assignments who watched the town during this time.

Earlier this week, our company was dispatched to a structure fire on Lanes Pond Road. Chief 19-3-66 requested the box alarm to be filled which brought resources from other township agencies. Engine 19-3-77 dropped a 5” supply line up the driveway and stretched a 1 3/4” and 2 1/2” attack line. Ladder 19-1-90 arrived on location and stretched another 1 3/4” line to the structure as well as a 3” supply line to engine 19-3-77. Engine/Tanker 19-3-78 supplied the scene until other township tankers arrived on location. The cause of fire is under investigation by Howell Fire Bureau. We thank our mutual aid partners for their assistance during this extended operation including the companies that came in to provide coverage.

This morning members of our department and Squankum Fire Company #1 participated in a ice rescue operations drill. Unfortunately due to Mother Nature not cooperating, we did a little swimming instead. Members practiced recovery, rope management and recovery techniques.
