WARETOWN – A fire was suppressed and no injuries reported at an office building next to the Garden State Parkway Southbound exit tolls Sunday morning.
The Waretown Fire Company was dispatched around 6:30 a.m. Nov. 25 with reports of an odor of smoke in the building. When crews arrived, they confirmed there was heavy smoke and an active fire coming from the basement.
Crews were able to put out the blaze using Waretown Tanker 3641 and Barnegat Tanker 1101, as the Parkway and western part of Waretown do not have fire hydrants.
Station 60, Station 11, the Ocean County Fire Marshals Office, NJ Fire Marshals Office, New Jersey State Police, and Waretown First Aid assisted.
