2nd Fire in less than 24 hours

At 0711 hrs this morning the Hillsborough Fire District was dispatched on the report of a roof fire at an industrial building on Valley Rd in 37's primary. While responding Asst Chief 37 upgraded the assignment to a full first alarm on Box 37-04, adding a RIT from Station 30 (Finderne) and putting crews from Stations 42 (Manville), 45 (Montgomery) and 52 (Raritan) on standby. Upon arrival it was found that the employees and the sprinkler system knocked down the bulk of the fire in the painting area but there was still pockets of fire in the roof above the room and around the vent stack. Due to the amount of overhaul to be done Tower 42 and Engine 52-1 were requested to the scene with manpower. Units operated for approximately two hours before clearing the scene and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Thank you to all of our mutual aid companies for your assistance this morning! ... See MoreSee Less

A second call was received by County Communications advising the house was now on fire and Chief 37 upgraded the assignment to a district response. Engine 372, Mini Pumper 10 and the fire marshals arrived within minutes and confirmed a working fire on the exterior of the house. Units were able to quickly knockdown the fire before it spread to the interior of the home, and district firefighters operated for approximately one hour checking for extension and hot spots before clearing the scene.
