3/21/24 Brooklyn Brush Box 3063
The Gerrittsen Beach Fire Department received multiple calls, and a notification and responded to a brush fire at Box 3063 Avenue U and East 36th. We coordinated with FDNY Brooklyn for access at the Golf Course. We unlocked the fire gates at the MPCG, deployed GBFD Engine 1 and our 6x6 Brush UTV, BFU2, to extinguish a 300x50 area brush fire, and initiated a water relay from GB Engine 1 to GB BFU2 with an additional 400ft of forestry.
While on scene, we identified a second fire one mile north, behind Lenape Playground, about 500 feet west of Avenue V, in a 100x100 wildland area. After extinguishing the first fire, we repositioned and extinguished the second fire with the same units and water relay operations from within the golf course area.
GBFD worked with FDNY to contain and extinguish both fires.
