A post from our sister station in East Dover of the incident Engine 2671 and Marine 2626 responded to.*Delayed Post*

At approximately 1620Hrs this evening Toms River Emergency Communications started receiving multiple 911 calls for a boat on fire in the area of the "Pier One Marina". Chief 2800 and District Chief 1-100 went enroute moments after dispatch.

While enroute Communications relayed that there was a working fire and that the smoke column could be seen from the Rt37 and Fischer Boulevard State Highway camera. On Arrival of Chief 2800 a fully involved house boat was discovered with it making progress into two additional boats on either side of the original fire. With that Mutual Aid was requested from Toms River Station 25, Toms River Station 26, Ocean Beach Station 27, Silverton Station 29 and Island Heights Station 53.

Engine 2801 responded and was on location within minutes of the call and stretched foam lines to begin the initial attack. Other Responding units were Engine 2501 Engine 2671 Marine 2626 Marine 2756 Engine 2811 Ladder 2865.

All units picked up and were returning to quarters within the last hour.

Thanks to our Mutul Aid for assistance. Also like to thank TRPD, Toms River Emergency Communications, and Toms River OEMS for their help.

Fire is under Investigation at this time.

Good Job by All!!
