Two Firefighters Suffer Injuries While Battling Tinton Falls Blaze

Two firefighters were injured while extinguishing a blaze at a Reeds Road home in Tinton Falls on Thursday afternoon.

The two men were treated and released from the hospital for their injuries.

Tinton Falls Fire Company No. 1 posted the following message on its Facebook page Thursday night:

Reported "working structure fire" today on Reeds Road. The fire is said to have started in the basement and went through the eaves as first crews arrived.

Two firefighters were injured, and both have been treated and released from the hospital with one "returned to duty" and the other requiring a medical follow-up before returning.

Northside, Wayside, Pine Brook, Lincroft, Little Silver, River Plaza, and Eatontown fire crews worked with us on this nasty one on a warm, humid day. Red Bank Station 94 and Wannamassa handled cover assignments for our town while we were on scene where we were assisted by EMS North & South, Tinton Falls OEM, and the Monmouth County Fire Marshals Office.

The residents of the home and their pets all escaped safely.
