Just before lunch, the pagers rang out for a commercial
vehicle fire on Shute Farm Lane in the Clarksboro Section of the
township. Engine 1911 arrived to find a skid
steer well involved. Crews went in
service with a 1 ¾ and knocked the fire down.
Engine 1711 from the Paulsboro Fire Department and Gloucester County
BLS 82-45 were on hand to
assist. Later in the day the township
experienced a large scale power outage. District 19
was dispatched to the 76 Travelers Plaza for automatic fire alarm
activation. The alarm tripped due to the
power outage. While on location of the
alarm, Gloucester
County 9-1-1 received a
request from a resident of the Weathervane Farms development to emergency
assistance to a person whose in-home oxygen system was no longer working due to
the power outage. Gloucester County BLS
Unit 82-35 was requested to do patient assessment while fire department crews
set up a back up electric generator. Later on while back at the stations cleaning up from the early calls, crews were
once again alerted to a motor vehicle crash on Kings Highway at the Mantua Creek
Bridge. Crews responded out but luckily no one was
injured and District 19 went available.
