At approx 11pm Task Force 1850 was dispatched to the area of Ft Dix rd and Pointville Rd for a reported barn on fire.

Upon further investigation the fire was located in a 25’x100’ barn in the rear of the old Twp MUA building. First arriving crews went to work stretching a line on the fire and pulling ceiling due to the spread of the fire in the attic. The fire was placed under control around 11:45pm

This fire presented some unique obstacles to members such as the barn floor had built in trough-like channels running the length of the floor which posed an added hazard in a smoke filled environment.
