Early video from NJ.com of a house fire on Stowman Drive in Ewing Township, New Jersey. The fire occurred September 17.
NJ.com has published an article by Kevin Shea titled “‘Where’s the water?’ Watch firefighters struggle to extinguish house fire” that focuses on concerns of the homeowner and ongoing career – volunteer issues:
A family’s Stowman Drive home burned out of control for several minutes recently while volunteer firefighters standing on the front lawn struggled to get water on the rapidly spreading flames.
And the firefighters who were first on scene were not “first due” for the neighborhood, but from other parts of Ewing.
The neighborhood off Lower Ferry Road is in the West Trenton Fire Co.’s territory, but the company never sent any trucks to the Sept. 17 fire, officials confirmed.
