This fire got dispatched in a very weird way..

Initial call was for West Tuckerton (71) and Great Bay EMS (85).. Police arrived first and called that there was entrapment (heard there were two still in the house). I believe an Assistant chief arrived and immediately called for 1st alarm and Ocean County dispatched Parkertown (70) and Stafford (47) FAST team. I think New Gretna (42-1) was also dispatched by Burlington County. Great Bay EMS did an All Call and all Rigs to respond into the scene as well as an ALS unit (762 I think). Eventually Eagleswood (52) and Warren Grove (48) were called for coverage and then were sent into the scene. Stafford (47) was dispatched again for an additional truck to respond and Barnegat (11) and Pinewood Estates (12) were dispatched for coverage of Stafford (47). Ocean County Fire Coordinator (think it was Car 12) realized that Tuckerton (50) was never dispatched so he had them dispatched to standby and cover the whole area. The county realizes that Mystic Island (72) was also never dispatched and they dispatched one truck from there to respond to the scene. They also dispatched another unit from Burlington County for coverage of Mystic Island (72) but I dont know which. Came from Galloway area. I also believe Waretown (36) was also called in for coverage of Stafford (47). The entire Island was busy with their own structure fire in Surf City at the time.
