On Sunday, June 14, at approximately 13:27, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Communications received multiple calls reporting a house fire in the 100 block of East Road. Third Assistant Chief D’Arcy arrived quickly after dispatch and confirmed an outside-in fire, with all occupants reported to be out.

Truck Company 7 arrived first due and conducted a primary search, locating the fire and containing it with two water cans to prevent further extension inside. Engine 3 and Engine 7 arrived simultaneously. Engine 3 secured its own water supply and stretched two lines, while the chauffeur of Engine 7 performed a reverse lay to establish a secondary water supply and set up a precautionary line to the Truck Company’s ladder pipe. The crew also assisted Engine 3 with the backup line.

Chief of Department Daniel Kelly declared the fire under control at approximately 13:50. Company 7 responded with 20 members.

LT 7 arrived first in with Engine 3 closely behind. 7 entered the home to conduct searches, while other members went up to vent the roof.
