VIDEO: In just over one hour on Monday, the Monroe Township Fire Department responded to six serious emergencies with help from several neighboring fire departments. One of those emergencies was a large house fire off Clover Valley Road that left little behind.
Crews remained on scene for several hours, staying into the early morning to monitor for flare-ups. Photos shared by the department show the extent of the damage and the size of the response as firefighters worked around the clock to put out the flames.
โIt is stressful sometimes, but again, we train for that,โ said Monroe Township Fire Battalion Chief Josh Harrison. โSometimes you just gotta take a deep breath, relax and know that everythingโs under control with good crews.โ
The house fire broke out just minutes after a commercial fire elsewhere in the township, where Harrison was already on scene.
