WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP (Mercer) - Firefighters from the Washington Township
Fire Department were called to a report of a car fire on the New Jersey
Turnpike at 9:05 AM on Saturday March 18, 2006. Firefighters arrived to
find a well involved vehicle at milepost 64.7 just south of the Township
line with East Windsor.
The fire proved more difficult than usual to extinguish as fuel leaked
from the ruptured full gas tank and reignited several times.
Firefighters at the scene used foam to extinguish the fire. One engine
from Hightstown responded to the scene to assist.
