I just wanted to let you know that I still have roses on my desk from Valentine's Day! Yours are the longest-lasting roses I've ever seen!! Thank you!!

Roses were great !

😍

Last night at 8:14 pm District 1 was dispatched to 1165 Easton Ave for a reported fire somewhere behind the building. Arriving Chiefs updated that there was heavy smoke pushing from the center of the building. Chief 56 had command and requested a first alarm. Chief, Deputy Chief, Squad, and Air responded with a total of 11 members. Chief 28 was assigned C side operations and was in charge of A28 and SQ28 crews along with Engine 55 from south bound brook. The crews split to conduct searches along the C and D sides of the building. They also assisted in fire suppression, knocked down any hot spots and later assisted in overhaul and ventilation.

Due to the size of the building and where the fire was seated a second alarm was called and Ladder pipe operations were set up around the building. SQ28 re positioned to reverse lay from Tower 42 if needed and A28 filled bottles. Deputy 28 was also in charge of B side operations. After a few hours with a stubborn fire and being upgraded to a 3rd alarm it was finally placed under control. All Station 28 members were back in station at around 12:30 am, great job by all to prevent this fire from taking the whole building. This incident was turned over to Franklin Township Fire Prevention for further investigation into the cause.

We would like to thank 47 @montgomeryems and 52 @emfas52 and RWJ for standing by as our rehab units, Somerset County Communications @somersetfmbalocal497 and Coordinators and our mutual aid companies who assisted on scene or covered the district while we continued operations for an extended amount of time.

About how long will this go for?

Yesterday at approximately 2:04 pm Station 28 was dispatched for our RIT into Hillsborough Township for a basement fire. Chief 28 and Squad 28 responded with a crew of 5. After Arriving the crew did a 360 of the building, one of the reasons we did this was due to the apartment involved being in the center of the building. We also looked for areas of egress and any obstacles that could interfere with rescue efforts if their was an emergency. Our crew stood by on the A side of the building while station 30 @findernefirestation30 stood by on the C side of the building. Thankfully the fire was placed under control quickly and a dog was rescued by Hillsborough companies. Air 28 was ready to call in service when command advised no other companies/apparatus were needed. After an hour on scene we were cleared by command. Thank you to the 12 total members that responded to the call or stood by the firehouse. We are 100% Volunteer and appreciate the continuous dedication from our members! #millstonevalley #RIT Flagtown Fire/Rescue Hillsborough Vol. Fire Co. #3 HTVFC2 ... See MoreSee Less

Last night at 5:14 pm, District 1 was dispatched to colonial park for reports of someone missing/ yelling for help. Car 56 arrived and had command and updated units to an area near the rose garden by the canal. Utility 28 with the drones responded and set up to scout the area. Air 28 arrived to assist the drone crew and scout the area on foot. In total station 28 had 11 members respond to the call.

As more units arrived we compiled resources together to be as effective as possible to search for the missing person. Together working with Franklin Township PD, Elizabeth Avenue VFC swift water technicians, Middlebush Volunteer Fire Dept Argo and Somerset Fire and Rescue marines 3 and 4 with their dive team, a plan was put in place to search the area quickly and efficiently. The Franklin side was searched thoroughly with a few heat signatures showing up but after further investigation nothing was found. A State Police Helicopter was also requested but grounded due to lingering heavy snow showers in the area.

A short time later the Hillsborough Township Fire District was called to assist in the search on the Hillsborough side in the Millstone river. Stations 36 Flagtown Fire/Rescue 37 HTVFC2 and 38 Hillsborough Vol. Fire Co. #3 responded and set up a command post at the regional airport by the Manville boarder led by Chief 37. In conjunction with our effort they launched boats at the Manville causeway and searched the Millstone River. As the area on the Franklin side was searched and nothing was found, Stations 28 and 56 re-located to the Hillsborough command post to further assist them on their side. After more time spent searching along the river and investigating heat signatures and looking for any abandoned vehicles, the search turned up negative. At 9:40 pm Our station and 56 were released from Hillsborough and returning to District 1.

We would like to thank Franklin D3 East Franklin Fire Department Community Volunteer Fire Co.#1 , and bound Brook Fire @squadco23 Relief Fire Co. #4 for standing by for the district while we handled this incident. #millstonevalley #teameffort
