Franklin Township Police Department - Somerset County
On September 12, 2017 at 11:30 AM the Franklin Township Police Department received a 9-1-1 call reporting an elderly man in the D&R Canal approximately ¾ of a mile south of the Blackwell’s Mills Causeway. Franklin Township Police Officer Alex Sodbinow along with Franklin Township Office of Fire Prevention’s Deputy Director Andrew Berardo and Fire Inspector Peter Haver immediately responded to the scene. Upon arrival they discovered a 71 year old male from Scotch Plains clinging to a tree branch in chest deep water. With the assistance of a civilian that was walking with the victim, Officer Sodbinow, Dep. Director Berardo and Inspector Haver were able to get a flotation device on the male and hoist him out of the water using a rescue rope.

It was learned that the victim was on a “Jazzy” Scooter and was heading southbound on the tow path with his friend walking along side. The victim attempted to do a “K” turn so they could head back northbound. He believed that he pressed the reverse button, but had not, and he lunged forward, down the embankment and into the water. His companion stayed on the bank and signaled the responders when they arrived.

Both the 71 year old man and his friend were evaluated by EMS personnel on the scene. Both refused medical assistance. The victim was in the water for approximately 20 minutes before being pulled out. ... See MoreSee Less

Upon arrival the first units found heavy fire blowing out from a room on the second floor. The first due Engine was directed to hit the hydrant and lay in. The engine was directed to deploy the deck gun to the fire to knock down the large volume of fire. Crews advanced a blitz line and handlines to the second floor. Once in place the deck gun was shut down and the crews advanced into the room to extinguish the balance of the fire. Kendall Park Ladder 223 and Monmouth Junction Tower 201 went into operation to ventilate the roof. Due to the efforts of all who assisted the fire damage was confined to the room of origin with minimal extension to the attic area the ceiling over the balcony. Adjoining rooms sustained smoke and water damage.

This fire went to two alarms. Two Kingston firefighters were transported to Princeton Medical Center at Plainsboro as a precaution. They were treated and released. Sixty-three firefighters responded on this call and were on the scene for four and a half hours.
