EARLY ARRIVAL Large Brush Fire Brick New Jersey 4/11/23

OC - Brick - Brush Fire - Alameda Dr. & Lagoona Dr.

Brick police got a call around 1:12 PM for a 20/20 brush fire. The first arriving units sized it up as around 2 acres and the fire was running fast into the marsh. NJFFS was alerting and started to send trucks to the scene. Command was requesting air tankers and helicopters. Due to the fire being in the marsh, there was no way to drive brush trucks back there. FF's stretched hand lines from engines off the road to reach much of the fire. The air tankers made several drops that helped the fire knockdown. The cause of the fire is unknown and is currently under investigation.

No further information at this time.
