| Just as Tri-County firefighters were pulling into the firehouse returning from a CO alarm call, a two-car collision occurred at the entrance to the firehouse. The rear-ender caused one car to roll into the Forest Fire sign on the firehouse's property. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. | ||

| March 29, 2011 - Extrication Drill | ||
| March's drill focused on extrication and rescue. Tri-County firefighters worked on proper vehicle stabilization, hood and door pops, and removals of the doors, posts, windshield, and roof. With the line officers and the extrication veterans leading the way, newer members were able to get their hands on the tools of the trade and work on what it's like to be on the scene of a motor vehicle crash. | ||

| February 9, 2011 - Structure Fire - 103 Carol Drive/Hackettstown | ||
| Just before 1am on a very cold night, Tri-County was called to assist Hackettstown Fire Department at a basement fire. Initially called for one engine, Tri-County also responded with 29-75 to provide scene lighting and to fill air bottles. Hackettstown firefighters did an amazing job to prevent the fire from spreading from the basement. The cause of the fire is believed to have been started by a faulty furnace. | ||
