Last night before the Tree Lighting Ceremony, we recieved a call at our Firehouse from someone stating there was smoke coming from a neighbors house in Millstone Borough. Deputy 28 and Squad with a crew of 6 responded and once arriving on scene quickly determined that a fireplace was lit without the flue being opened. The wood and ashes were watered down outside and the house was naturally ventilated. As a reminder while it may seem faster to call your local fire department, Always call 911 and do your very best to get an address for the emergency or as close as you can to it. We are 100% volunteer and not always at the firehouse. Luckily it was an honest mistake. Thank you to our ladies auxiliary member Josselin for getting a video of Squad 28 responding! #millstonevalley

Last night we were requested for our drones to this fire to assist the crews on the ground. We put 2 drones in service and were able to help point out hot spots and locate where pockets of fire remained. Our drones have thermal capabilities which is an asset in many ways with this just being one of them. We are always happy to assist surrounding companies any way we can. All crews on the ground did an outstanding job despite the terrain and conditions. We also had a member stay back with the brush truck and rangers incase they were also needed. Great work by all! #millstonevalley #forestfire #droneresponse

Thank you MVFD!!
Thank you!
Last night , at 2:00 in the morning Franklin District 1 was dispatched to an address on Cortelyous lane for a reported structure fire. Initial reports from a passerby was a barn on fire, but it was quickly updated to a house on fire. Due to an error on the house number for this incident, this was actually a Franklin District 2 primary area. With D1 units already responding they continued in to assist. Car 56 Somerset Fire and Rescue arrived, established command and confirmed a working fire. A second alarm was called along with tankers due to no hydrants in the area.
Squad, Air, Brush, and Chief 28 responded to this incident. Squad 28 arrived behind other apparatus and laid in 350ft of 5 inch from the road into the driveway to assist in getting tanker shuttle operations started. Engine 35 @station35fire used our 5 inch to supply tanker 44 Middlebush Volunteer Fire Dept while the crews from Squad, Air and brush staged as extra manpower. Crews assisted with laddering the A side of the building and extra scene lighting as the fire was knocked down.
Once visible fire was knocked the rest of the crew assisted other companies in hitting hot spots and extensive overhaul. All Station 28 members were clear around 5:30am, the scene was later turned over to Franklin Fire Prevention. Great work by all companies operating at this incident. The first 2 photos taken by Chief 28 are what initial arriving crews were met with. #millstonevalley #structurefire Elizabeth Avenue VFC Franklin Park Fire Company Little Rocky Hill Vol Fire Co

Earlier this morning around 10:40am Franklin District 1 was dispatched for a mulch fire in the area of plum tree lane. Squad 28 was immediately in service due to returning from a previous call. When they arrived they found a mulch fire that had extended to the structure. Car 44 @middlebushfire arrived right behind SQ28 and established command. This was quickly upgraded to a 1st alarm due to the size of the fire. Franklin Township Fire Marshals arrived along with Car 26 @eavfc26 and Engine 8. E8 stood by the hydrant ready to supply if needed. The fire was knocked soon after units arrived.
With all visible fire knocked command held the first alarm in quarters. This situation could’ve gotten a lot worse had a passerby not called this in. Remember to always try your best and get an address number if you are going to call in an emergency! Great job by all on scene and Thank You to our mutual aid companies that were going to respond or stand by. Units were clear within the hour. @svfrc1 #MillstoneValley #Teameffort
