Truck Fire Found In Open Field In Bedminster

BEDMINSTER, NJ — A truck engulfed in flames was reported in an open field in Bedminster on Sunday afternoon.

While helping at another car crash, at 3:17 p.m. on Sunday, the Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department was called for a motor vehicle fire well off Airport Road in Bedminster.

Initial reports stated the vehicle was near a barn, said the fire department.

"Due to the unknown location of the vehicle fire on the property, we requested mutual aid from North Branch Fire for an engine and Green Knoll Fire for their tanker," said the fire department to Patch.

Firefighters arrived and found a single vehicle on fire with no exposures.

"Thank you to our mutual aid companies that were requested due to the potential extension and location of the call," said the fire department.

The car fire was among four calls on Sunday that the fire department responded to. The calls included a natural gas leak, a motor vehicle accident, a truck fire, and a smoke condition, which was found to be residual smoke from the car fire.

The Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department is 100 percent volunteer-based and has been serving the area since 1901. For more information or to donate or volunteer, visit fhbfd.org.
