Budd Lake Fire Department responded last night at approximately 7:45 PM for a mutual aid assignment to Belleville for a large‑scale 11‑alarm warehouse fire that also threatened multiple surrounding homes.
Our department, along with many others from across the region, was requested to supply tenders for water shuttle operations to support ongoing fire suppression efforts. Crews operated through the night and were released from the scene at 6:00 AM this morning.
The fire remains active, and numerous agencies continue working to bring it under control.
We’re proud of our members for their dedication and professionalism during this extended operation, and we thank all departments involved for their teamwork and support.
