I know the dispatcher was at a different location and had no view of the incident, but I still found it a bit amusing when she said "possible car fire" :)

[@patersonnjresponse]

Actually there isn’t confirmation until there is a unit on scene, that’s why she said possible car fire, some calls are just a overheating car, or in this case a working car fire.

Great video!!!!! Heavy fire then smoke!!!!!! Hopefully no one was in the car or injured!!!!!!!! When did that happen???

[@firefighting-videos]

It was a Accident that caused the fire, if you look carefully you will see another car in the far right on the screen at 1:40-1:43 that was involved in the accident as well. It happen today, a little while before I posted it, at 19:11hrs per FD dispatch times.

Someone dropped a Crackpipe?

Feel bad for the one engine company. Racing down the other side of the highway then have to come back up the side of the incident, fight all sorts of traffic, only to get beat by another engine company that got there in less than 5 minutes. Anyway, aside from all that, the job got done either way.
