Power Lines Start Brush Fire

Thursday afternoon calls came in for power lines down on Mohawk Trail starting a brush fire. Car 51 and 52 along with Engine 53 and Tender 57 were on the assignment crews were forced to wait and safely control the fire till the power company could secure the power. New Jersey Forest Fire and Flanders Rescue 97 were also added to the call and once the power was secured crews stretched 3 lines around the fire and had the fire quickly under control within an hour. JCP&L was on the scene to repair all the power and remove the tree that had fallen causing the lines to drop. There were no injuries.
