At approximately 1:15 PM on Saturday May 5, 2012 the Manville Fire Department and Manville Rescue Squad responded to a report of a car into a house near the intersection of N. 13th Avenue and Brooks Boulevard.

The car was heading south on North 13th Avenue when the driver experienced some form of “medical emergency”. The driver lost control of the car, drove off the road, across two lawns and finally crashed into the side of a house near Brooks Boulevard punching a 3-foot by 2-foot hole in the foundation wall.

 The Fire Department secured the site while the Rescue Squad attended to the driver, who was the only occupant of the car, and transported him to the hospital.

Manville Fire Department responded to a report of a fire between two houses which quickly turned into a double structure fire. Due to the fact that two structures were involved, the first arriving fire unit (County Mutual aid Coordinater 99D) immediately requested a second alarm.

Mutual Aid Fire Companies responding to the scene or staged around the Borough were: Hillsborough Fire Co. #2, FInderne, Somerville, Bound Brook, East Millstone, Elizabeth Ave. and Raritan Borough.
