Point Pleasant Beach 2 Alarm

On April 28, 2023, the Point Pleasant Beach Fire Department was dispatched to a large residential home on Arnold Avenue fora house fire. On a night with heavy winds and torrential downpours, Engine 4201 was first to arrive to fire showing from the bravo side with reports of entrapment. Once it was determined everyone was out of the home and a drafting site was set up nearby — a nearby hydrant was sheared off

— heavy fire began to consume the entire top floorof the home. Companies were evacuated twice from the structure and transitioned to a defensive attack as the roof of the home collapsed. Mutual aid from Wall Township, Point Pleasant Boro, Brielle and Toms River-Silverton, responded and assisted on the scene throughout the evening into the following morning.
