Structure Fire – July 28, 2026

On Tuesday, July 28, at approximately 4:00 PM, the Cedar Grove Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire on Overlook Road.

Upon arrival, crews were met with smoke and fire showing from the top floor of the residence. Firefighters quickly stretched hose lines, made an aggressive interior attack, opened up walls and ceilings to locate hidden fire, and successfully extinguished the blaze before it could spread further.

Thank you to our mutual aid partners for their rapid response and assistance on scene and protecting the township as we were operating at the fire.

This incident was one of four emergency calls handled by the Cedar Grove Fire Department throughout the day, highlighting the dedication and commitment of our volunteers who stand ready to respond whenever needed.

As always, thank you to our firefighters and our mutual aid departments for your teamwork and hard work. Stay safe!

SUPPORT FOR CAPTAIN TOWER

During the structure fire on May 28, one of our officers, Captain Tower, suffered a knee injury while operating on the fireground.

Captain Tower was the officer on the first-arriving truck company and was conducting search and rescue. While withdrawing from the second floor due to deteriorating interior conditions, he fell on the staircase, sustaining significant injuries to his quadriceps and knee.

Today, Captain Tower underwent surgery as he begins the road to recovery.

For many years, Captain Tower has answered the call without hesitation, putting the safety of others before himself. His dedication, leadership, and commitment to protecting the residents of Cedar Grove have not gone unnoticed. We are grateful for his service and proud to stand beside him as he faces this challenge.

We ask our members, residents, friends, and neighboring departments to keep Captain Tower and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

If you’d like to brighten his recovery, those who know him best know he won’t turn down a good pizza, a hot dog, some chocolate, or a bag of Skittles.

Captain, thank you for your sacrifice and service. The entire Cedar Grove community is behind you. We wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
