01 September 2025 - At approximately 2 a.m., units were dispatched to Hopewell Township as part of a Tanker Task Force for a house fire. Upon arrival, crews provided water to supplement a low-volume fire hydrant that was supplying the scene through several hundred feet of hose.
Tankers from Griggstown (35), Montgomery (45), and Amwell Valley (Hunterdon 48) joined Hopewell Township’s tankers in the operation. Montgomery Engine 46-8 served as the fill-site pumper, refilling the tankers throughout the incident.
Crews concluded their operations and returned to service around 5 a.m.
