Fire Injures At Least 1 Person, Destroys Mobile Home In Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ — A fire has destroyed a mobile home in Toms River on Monday, Toms River fire officials said.

There were injuries in the fire that was reported just before 11 a.m., said Matthew Janora, chief of the Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention, but he said details were not immediately available.

Multiple fire companies responded to the two-alarm fire on Tuyahova Boulevard, off Route 37 west of Lakehurst Road, and were able to bring the fire under control in a timely manner, he said.

The home sustained heavy damage, however, and has been posted as unsafe by the Toms River Building Department, Janora said.

The fire is under investigation by the Toms River fire inspectors Kevin Britton and Sean Kappock, along with Toms River police, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, he said.

"We thank all responding fire companies and assisting agencies for their coordinated efforts and professionalism during this incident," Janora said.
