Clinton Fire Department

On the evening of May 19th, The Clinton Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Old Highway 22. Wagon 45 was the first arriving unit stretching a line and knocking down the bulk of the fire. In coordination with our mutual aid partners, we were able to keep the fire to the area of origin with minor extension into the attic. Good work by all companies on scene.

Wagon 45 responded to assist PVFC with multiple brush fires along the railroad line this afternoon.

Today the former Lehigh Valley railroad tracks were the sight of many brush fires in Union Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
Brake shoes will seize up on the trains going around some of these bends and throw molten metal off into the weeds causing these fires. There were plumes of smoke visible for miles after the event today.
If you needed a reason not to walk heavily active trackage, here is one. Getting hit by some of that spark would certainly not feel good.

CFD volunteers spent Monday night alongside our partners from High Bridge Fire Department training on ladder company operations on Main Street. Tight alleyways, parked cars, and overhead wires make for a challenge, but nothing that can't be overcome!
