Yesterday at 1628 hours, members were dispatched along with members from Woodbridge, Port Reading and Colonia for a reported smoke condition on Gayle Court.
Units arrived to a 1 story single family dwelling with a light smoke condition on the exterior of the house. Upon entry, crews located a fire in a bathroom fan that extended into the attic. A 1 3/4" attack line was deployed and crews quickly extinguished the fire, preventing further extension into the entire attic space. Extensive overhaul operations were performed as well as searches of the home which were negative. Once all operations were completed, scene was turned over to the Avenel Fire Prevention Bureau for their investigation.

Great work by all companies on scene as well as the Avenel-Colonia First Aid Squad for standing by and providing rehab to all members.

In a follow up to Saturday's visit to a lemonade stand in town, Emily visited the firehouse today along with her brother Jacob to present us with a $125 donation to our fire company from half of the sales she made that day selling lemonade.

Emily, we thank you for your kind and generous donation and we commend you on a job well done on running a successful lemonade stand. Keep up the great work in all your future ventures.

Members this afternoon stopped by Monica Court to support Emily at her lemonade stand and get a cold refreshing cup of lemonade on this hot summer day.

Last year, Emily and her family hosted a yard sale and she asked if she can sell lemonade so that she can donate half the proceeds to a place of her choosing. Last year she donated towards a veterinary hospital that helped her family dog. This year, she chose our department as the place she wanted to donate to because she loves fire trucks and waving to our members as she passes by. We are extremely thankful for her kind gesture.

If you're in the Avenel area, stop by Monica Court, get a cold cup of lemonade and say hello to Emily and her brother Jacob.

This morning, members were dispatched out to the intersection of St. Georges Ave. and Avenel St. for a vehicle fire.
Crew arrived and located a loaded car carrier with active fire on the brakes. The driver was able to disconnect a portion of the trailer limiting the exposure area. Crew stretched a line and quickly knocked down the fire preventing any extension to the remaining cars on the trailer.

Great work by all on scene!
