At 1:58 AM on Sunday January 28th, the Monmouth Junction Fire Department was dispatched to a Sara Court home in the Deans section of South Brunswick for a fire in the residence. South Brunswick Police Officers arrived first and found a working fire in the attached garage and all residents safe outside. First arriving firefighters from the Monmouth Junction Fire Department performed an aggressive fire attack from the interior and exterior of the home and confined the majority of the fire to the attached garage with minor extension to the adjoining rooms.
Firefighters exstinguished the fire in approximately 30 minutes but remained on scene until approximately 6 AM checking for hot spots. More than 60 firefighters responded to the 2-alarm fire, including firefighters from Monmouth Junction, Kendall Park, Kingston, Jamesburg, Plainsboro and East Franklin. The Franklin Park and Brookview Fire Companies stood-by at Monmouth Junction’s Fire Station to cover the rest of the township. The Monmouth Junction and Kendall Park First Aid Squads also responded.
There were no injuries and the fire is under investigation by the South Brunswick Township Fire Safety Bureau.
