At approximately 1332 hours on November 11, 2026, the Burlington County Fire Alarm Room dispatched the Mansfield Fire Department and automatic aid units to 3 Manchester Ct, in Mansfield for the report of a dwelling fire. Mansfield Fire Chief Herb Dubell arrived and reported a large single family dwelling with an advanced fire. He immediately gave orders for incoming units and requested additional resources. Bordentown Engine 3223 arrived and stretched a 2 1/2" hand line to start things off, but due to the rapid fire spread and early collapse an offensive attack turned into a defensive operation. Florence FD Tower Ladder and the Chesterfield aerial took the A and B sides of the building respectively. Although fire hydrants are not readily found in parts of rural Burlington County, NJ, Mansfield Engine 3311 was able to connect to a nearby fire hydrant and supply adequate water to the fire ground. No injuries were reported and the fire was placed under control in about two hours.
