Cranbury recently assisted on a tractor trailer fire. Here is what East Windsor VFC said:
This morning at 0320, EWVFC2 was dispatched for a tractor trailer fire on Lake Drive. Upon Chief 46 going in service, updates from Mercer County Central advised of multiple trucks affected with exposure issues. As a result, Chief 46 upgraded the assignment to a building in the first alarm bringing in multiple agencies from surrounding areas. Engine 46 arrived and deployed attack lines for suppression. Chief 41 and Chief 42 arrived investigating the interior, showing no extension of fire with substantial smoke condition. Ladder 41 set up their master stream and was fed a water supply from E46. Members from Engine 48 hand stretch nearly 400 feet of LDH. Additional crews arrived coming manpower pools while L41 went in service soaking the affected vehicles and exterior facade. Tower 57 crews assisted in gaining access to all tractor bays. Squad 40 provided tank water while crews set up water supply. Companies systematically were release as interior and exterior hot spots were suppressed. Due to diesel fuel leaks, DEP was notified, with hazmat mitigation performed by West Windsor Engine 45. Command was terminated and units went back to service at approximately 0730. The scene was turned over to EWPD, EWTBFP, and Mercer County Prosecutors Office for investigation.
Thanks to all mutual aid partners assisting this early morning. Other units on location – Tower 42, Ladder 23, Ladder 32, Engine 43.
