Peapack Gladstone, N.J. — December 23rd — Due to a reported structure fire, volunteers from the Peapack Gladstone Fire Department were sent to Willow Avenue. Shortly after, Chief 51 arrived, confirmed that the barn fire was operational, and struck Box 51-01 for a first alarm assignment. Because of the building's size, crews started suppression operations and asked for more resources.
The Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department, Pottersville Fire Company 63, Bernardsville Fire Company, North Branch Fire Company 49, Chester Volunteer Fire Company acting as RIT, and the Basking Ridge Fire Company provided mutual aid. The Peapack-Gladstone First Aid Squad moved personnel and equipment using an off-road truck while also offering rehabilitation services. Before clearing, crews stayed on the scene to finish the overhaul.
