JACKSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Firefighters from all four Jackson Fire Companies responded to a structure fire Saturday afternoon, operating for nearly four hours before returning to their stations.
The fire broke out in Station 56’s first due area around 4:45 p.m., prompting Assistant Chief 5610 to request a second alarm upon arrival. The Millstone Township Fire Department and other mutual aid partners were called to assist, while additional units covered Jackson’s firehouses.
Due to the fire’s location in a non-hydrant area, all of the township’s tanker trucks were deployed to supply water. Firefighters worked to contain and extinguish the flames as crews coordinated efforts at the scene.
The Jackson Fire Bureau, with assistance from Jackson Township Fire District No. 4 and multiple volunteer fire departments, is investigating the fire’s origin and cause. No injuries or further details were immediately available.
