Finderne's FAS Team was requested yesterday for two structure fires in the Township. The First was in District 3 at the request of Green Knoll who had a working fire but by the time Finderne arrived the blaze was extinguished. The FAS Team was ready to assist but was released about an hour into the call.
The second request came about 45 min later into Martinsville's area. When the FAS Team arrived they were met by a fully engulfed structure fire. All mutual aid Bridgewater Companies were still tied up at the first call so the FAS Team was put to work immediately to help extinguish the blaze. The Martinsville and Finderne crews first on scene did a great job knocking the fire down even with the high heat and obstacles they were confronted with.
