At 8:20pm on September 1, the Clinton Fire Department was dispatched for our first call in September. The call was Fire Box 2546 for smoke in a dwelling on Pittstown Rd in Union Township. Responding on the Box Alarm with Clinton was Quakertown Fire Company(91), High Bridge Fire Department(14), Lebanon fire Company(18), and the Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad. Chief 45 arrived 2 minutes after dispatch and found a smoke condition in the basement of a 2 family dwelling. Engine 451, Engine 91, Service 45, and Ladder 14 arrived and investigated. The cause was found to be an electrical fire in an electric water heater due to a water leak. The unit was disconnected from it's power source and the smoke was cleared from the residence and all units were cleared by 9:00pm.
