Friday afternoon, Fire Company 1 was requested as Mutual Aid into Upper Saddle River for a working house fire. Engine 115 was on the road quickly with a full crew.

Upon arrival, with no hydrants in the area, 115 drafted from Saddle River’s Tanker and portable pond that would also be filled by other mutual aid tankers until a permanent water supply could be established. After securing the water supply, 115 supplied Ramsey Tower 441 for master stream operations.

After completing this task, the crew stretched an additional hand line to assist in extinguishing the fire. After the main body of fire was knocked down, the crew entered the building to overhaul and wash down any hot spots.

Engine 115 operated on scene for nearly 4 hours before returning to the Township. Job well done to all depts. on scene.
