On 8/12/26 the RTFD was dispatched for a reported building fire at the BAPS facility in Robbinsville. Arriving personnel were confronted with access challenges given the location of the fire and were required to stretch several handlines through stairwells, multiple floors, and long distances. Upon accessing the area fire was found on a roof which had extended behind the facade of the building spanning several floors.
Crews from numerous departments worked for over an hour to extinguish the fire behind the stone facade of the building which had extended into several void spaces. Investigation found the fire to be accidental in nature. There were no injuries reported and repairs/remediation of the affected area is underway. We would like to thank our numerous mutual aid partners and BAPS staff for their assistance.
