Bridgewater Township, NJ — 19th December — Due to a reported overturned car, Somerset County Communications sent 49 Fire units to Bridgewater Township, where they were working close to Route 202. Firefighters arrived to support other emergency services and help with scene management. As soon as they arrived, personnel moved to reduce road hazards, secure the overturned car, and provide a secure work space for responders.
As patient care and investigative tasks were finished, coordination with EMS and law police took place. To safeguard employees working near the road, traffic control techniques and apparatus placement were employed. There was no immediate information on injuries or the reason for the collision. Fire, EMS, and police departments worked together to organize the response, which was handled as a standard motor vehicle collision assignment.
