MOUNT OLIVE, NJ — A fire that damaged the Flanders fire and rescue building Thursday started in an ambulance that was responsible for a new law extending the state’s “lemon law” provisions to emergency vehicles, officials said.
The ambulance, one of the three operated by the Flanders First Aid and Rescue Squad, had just returned from a medical call and was placed out of service because of an issue with its anti-lock braking system, according to Capt. Jeff Paul, a spokesman for the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.
The ambulance was parked inside the firehouse garage at 27 Main St. when it erupted in flames at 10:40 a.m. No one was in the garage at the time of the fire, but two firefighters from Flanders suffered smoke inhalation battling the flames.
