On Thursday February 11th of 2021, Colts Neck Township fire departments responded to Boundary Road for a reported structure fire in a residence. A Box Alarm was transmitted by first arriving fire chief's bringing in neighboring communities Marlboro Township for an engine and tanker, Freehold Independent for an engine, and Tinton Falls Fire Company/Wayside Fire/Rescue as the RIT Team. The Monmouth County Fire Marshal's office was also requested for investigation as well as Township First Aid and Fire Police. The fire, located in a set back ranch, was extinguished by crews and utilities secured by JCP&L and NJ Natural Gas. Fortunately, a hydrant was located up the street but tankers stood by ready if need be.
