Point Pleasant Fire Department 75:

Today at approximately 5pm Point Pleasant Fire Department was dispatched to a Working Structure Fire with Entrapment on Bay Boulevard.

Upon arrival there was heavy fire and smoke coming from the building, and it was determined there was no entrapment. Our fire fighters were able to contain the fire to the bedroom, and the hallway, with heavy smoke damage through the home. One resident was transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation and it is our understanding they are in stable condition. No 1st responders were injured.

We would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance: Point Pleasant Police Department, Point Boro EMS, Point Pleasant Cert, Point Pleasant Beach EMS, along with the following Ocean County Fire Departments 42, 43, 23, 24, 14. Working fires are very demanding and hard work, these tasks could not be accomplished with out all of these organizations banding together.

We ask all of our followers to please keep the residents of this home in your thoughts and prayers as they embark on this very difficult time in their lives.
