Reported Bridgewater House Fire Turned Out To Be False Alarm

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — What was initially called in as a house fire in Bridgewater turned out to essentially be a false alarm, said Bridgewater Police Lt. Frederick J. Brittain III.

"Really was nothing. It was ash from a fireplace on the ground. Wind blew it up making it look like smoke in the backyard," said Bradley Gardens Volunteer Fire Captain Charlie Gill.

The fire was reported on Wednesday around 3:35 p.m. on Brahma Avenue in the Bradley Gardens section of the township.

Firefighters from Bradley Gardens, Country Hills, Green Knoll and North Branch all responded to help.
