Eastampton is a small, mostly rural town in Burlington County, NJ. For many of their calls of consequence, the Eastampton Fire-Rescue Department requests the assistance of their mutual aid partners. Saturday, July 19, 2025 was one of those days. At approximately 1040 hours, a call came in to the Burlington County Fire Alarm Room reporting a possible brush fire in a remote area near the north branch of the Rancocas Creek. It was soon upgraded to a dwelling fire response on West Mill Creek Road and the Eastampton Fire-Rescue Department and several mutual aid departments were dispatched. First in units reported fire showing from a dwelling that was in a remote area located quite a distance from a main paved road. Fire hydrants did not service this immediate area. Fire apparatus had to travel over a half mile on a very narrow part gravel/mostly dirt access road with some steep, seventy five foot overlooks of the Rancocas Creek. Due to the narrow road and limited access, fire apparatus were carefully placed and sequenced in to the scene. Westampton Squad Company 2722 positioned near the dwelling and multiple hand lines were stretched/operated from their apparatus to extinguish the fire. Eastampton Engine 3413 followed second in and utilized their turbo draft equipment to supply water to the fire ground. Because this dwelling was in a remote area, it took some extra time for the units to arrive and the fire was well advanced. A fine effort was made, but the dwelling was destroyed.
