Hillsborough Township, NJ — 10th January — Crews from Station 37 were sent to Valley Road for a reported tractor-trailer fire while Flagtown Fire/Rescue – Hillsborough Volunteer Fire Co. #1 units were responding to a fire alarm on the township's west side. Units were able to redirect to the working fire when it was established that the alarm event was unintentional. Due to travel distance, Station 38 was also sent out.


As the first unit to arrive, Ladder 36 set up a hose line to darken the most of the fire. Engine 38 extended a second line from Ladder 36, and Tanker 37 set up a water supply. As suppression was finished, Neshanic Fire Company and Engine 36 helped open the cab.
