No one was injured in the Thursday blaze, police say. The cause was accidental.
Several local fire departments responded to a two-alarm fire Thursday afternoon at 5 Crowfield Lane in Holmdel that left a house with moderate damage.

Firefighters had to cut three holes in the top of the house to release heavy smoke.

"This 2008 vehicle has more safety features, more room and will hopefully not be in the shop as much," he said They learned the heavy duty vehicle was in excellent condition with only 21,982 miles on it. The Kelly Blue Book value was $22,712 without its all its special first responder enhancements. The First Aid offered the township $20,000…
