At approximately 07:00 HRS, Station 15 was dispatched to a reported structure fire at
610 N. Bay Avenue in Beach Haven.

While enroute, Deputy Chief 1510 had a column of smoke and requested a 2nd alarm assignment.

1510 arrived on scene and established command. 1505 arrived on location and deployed two attack lines and began an exterior fire attack while simultaneously establishing a water supply.

Mutual aid companies from Stations 46, 47, 51, 70, and 60 responded.

Once additional resources were in place, an aggressive interior attack was initiated, allowing firefighters to knock down the bulk of the fire.

Units on scene conducted extensive overhaul operations and ventilated the roof to ensure all fire was extinguished.

The scene was turned over to the Ocean County Fire Marshal’s office for investigation.

BHVFC #1 would like to thank our mutual aid partners, and EMS agencies who responded and assisted our members.

As the whirlwind of the weekend comes to the end. We wanted to thank you for your continued support.

From the donations of food, snacks, beverages and even a place to stay warm.

Engleside Inn was essential in the efforts to support the community. Providing us with endless coffee, electric and a place to stay dry and warm (when we got the opportunity, to rest our heads too!)

Barry's Do Me A Flavor, Flour Child Pizza, Holy Innocents' Episcopal Church, and many anonymous donors.

Amazing to see the first responders and community work together. Receiving mutual aid for the weekend allowed extra support to the island. Thank you Forked River Fire Department for coming to Beach Haven and supporting not only us, but the community.

While the storm moves past us, the clean up efforts begin. Our fire house is far from dry and there’s a lot of work to be done before our Annual Block Party.

We will do it all - with smiles on our faces.

We still see you Saturday for our party!

One brotherhood, one purpose, one promise.
We will never forget. God Bless the 343 🇺🇸

09/11/2026

Never forget the 343 Firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice 25 years ago. They ran toward the danger while others ran away. They climbed the stairs knowing the risks, driven by duty, courage, and a commitment to save others.

Their sacrifice still echoes through every firehouse, every station, and every firefighter who answers the call.

We remember the police officers, EMS, military members, and countless civilians who were also murdered that day.

We also remember those who survived. All first responders who continue to suffer from the physical and emotional consequences from that day. Their fight did not end on September 11th.

May we never forget the 343,
May we never forget their families,
May we never forget those still suffering.
