Our members had a nice break going 9 days without any emergency calls. During that time they took care of equipment and the firehouse, did a firework stand by at the Hunterdon Developmental Center, and stood by during the Iron and Steel Run. On Sunday our members responded to a minor 2 car Motor Vehicle Accident(MVA) in Union Township near the Clinton Station Diner. Units were dispatched at 1453 and back in quarters at 1510.
On Tuesday night at 2030, CFD was dispatched to Patrick Drive in Union Township for an odor of something burning in a residence. Deputy Chief 45 arrived on scene at 2038 and took command of the incident. CFD was assisted by an Engine from Quakertown and Pattenburg on this call. A thorough investigation of the residence found a Compact Fluorescent Light(CFL) bulb shorted out and was burning in side the base and was turning black. The bulb was removed and all units were back in quarters and ready for service at 2127.
Just as units returned to quarters at 2127, CFD was dispatched for an audible fire alarm on Leigh St between Lower Center St. and Main St. Deputy Chief 45 and both CFD Engines arrived on scene in less than 1 minute, with Deputy 45 taking command of the incident. Members made entry and found a significant smoke condition in the building. Command upgraded the incident to a level 2, bringing an Engine from Quakertown and Annandale, a Ladder from High Bridge, and FAST from Lebanon Boro. Water supply was established and crews began searching the building, quickly determining the fire was a cooking fire confined to the stove. Level 2 units were cancelled and CFD units operated on scene until 2234.
On Wednesday at 1134, CFD was dispatched to set up a landing zone for a medical helicopter. This was a mutual aid response to assist Annandale while they operated at the scene of a serious MVA on Route 31. Engine 451 responded and stood by at Bundt Park While the helicopter landed a took off with the patient.
