On 3/19/2019 at approximately 1530hrs, Cranbury FD Chief 48 (Michael Kervan) arrived on Shady Brook Lane with a large column in the sky and a deep seated brush fire. Chief 48 special called Brush 49 and Engine 49 to the scene due to the size of the brush fire and the access issues.
Units arrived and assisted Cranbury FD with suppression efforts and creating a fire break. Brush 49 stretched 250’+ of forestry line (1”) and crews raked the flanks with Cranbury FD. Engine 49 arrived and stretched a supply line with class A foam from the engine and pumped to Brush 49, which subsequently aided in mopping up the fire.
Great job by all companies involved.
