RIT ASSIGNMENT

This afternoon, members of District 36 RIT (Comprised of Rapid Intervention Team Members from Tinton Falls Fire Company No. 1 and Wayside Fire Company) were dispatched into Ocean Township for a Box Alarm working commercial structure fire. Chief 2-67 along with Rescue 1-86 and Rescue 2-85 quickly responded to the scene. Once on location, crews conducted proactive RIT standby forcing multiple exterior doors / rollup doors for members working inside. RIT crews were later released due to the fire being placed under control by initial crews. Great job by first arriving engine and ladder companies in an aggressive fire attack and preventing further damage! Chief 37-1-66 had command.
