At around 4am, firefighters from Iselin District 9 were dispatched to a first alarm fire in the Hopelawn section of town. After the fire was placed under control, the crew from Engine 9-2 was requested into Edison Township to help cover the town while they were busy fighting their own 3 alarm apartment fire. Shortly after joining Colonia (D12) at Edison Station 4, Engine 9-2 was upgraded to respond in to the scene to assist with firefighting operations.
