At just before 1400 hours on November 8, 2026, the Salem County Fire Alarm Room transmitted a box for the report of a warehouse on fire at 780 Big Oak Road in Pittsgrove, NJ. First arriving units reported a large L shaped warehouse approximately 100' X 100' with an advanced fire. This is a rural area of Salem county and hydrants are not plentiful so a tender task force was requested. The drafting point was at a lake almost a mile away. Units went right to work to extinguish the fire and protect a large 4 car garage that was located just a couple of feet away from the warehouse and a house was nearby as well. Companies were able to protect both of those structures. Extensive overhaul was required before placing the fire under control.
