Yesterday at approximately 1500 hours, a Township General Alarm was dispatched for a residential structure fire on Bound Brook Avenue in District 2. Deputy 60, Truck 66, Engine 62, and Engine 63 responded to the scene and worked alongside mutual aid companies to bring the incident under control.

Despite challenging conditions and high temperatures, crews performed roof ventilation, fire suppression, and overhaul operations to ensure the fire was fully extinguished. Units remained on scene for several hours and cleared shortly after 1800 hours.

We would like to thank all of our mutual aid partners who responded to the incident, as well as the companies that provided station coverage throughout the Township to ensure continued protection for our residents during the operation.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Piscataway Fire Marshal’s Office.

Thank you to Firefighter Yon for playing the bagpipes and retired Bayonne Special Operations Battalion Chief Robert Seeburger for being our guest speaker for the event.

This week, we would like to recognize the dispatchers of the Piscataway Police Department during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

Dispatchers play a key role in the emergency response system, answering calls for service, gathering information, and coordinating the appropriate resources. Their work helps ensure that responders have the information they need to operate effectively on scene.

We appreciate the coordination and communication provided to our members on a daily basis and appreciate the job we accomplish working together.

Thank you for your efforts and always keeping our community safe!
