WARREN, NJ - On Wednesday night, April 1st, complaints of outside smoke and a potential brush fire prompted the Mt. Bethel Fire Company to respond to the King George Road area. Dispatch upgraded the call and transmitted Box 6103 for more companies after several callers reported a house fire while units were responding. When Assistant Chief 1 arrived, he verified that there was an active structure fire. Soon after, Ladder 61 arrived at the scene and started the fire attack by extending a handline as the first-due engine. A second alarm was requested in order to provide more staff and equipment to support operations.
