This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

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. Tanker 84-2-97, Colts Neck Station 2's newer and primary tanker stood by with Station 1's 1999 Emergency One Pumper 84-1-80 which was boosting up pressure as the mid engine in a relay. Colts Neck Station 1's tanker was also on scene and is a 2018 Kenworth/Sutphen that stood by up the street with Marlboro's engine on the hydrant. Crews overhauled and started clearing after about two hours on scene.
