Saturday, April 14, 2012 Saturday April 14th started out as what would have seemed to be a quiet day. All of that came to an end when the first call of a motor vehicle accident at Schalks Crossing and Wyndhurst at 1540hrs. Then the 2nd call for mutual aid to Princeton on a brush fire at Cherry Hill Road 1712hrs. Then while the crew for the brush fire was making their way to Princeton a 3rd call for a R.I.T. crew came in for East Windsor at 1729hrs. This was due to a office building that was on fire and the initial response required an upgrade to bring more resources to the scene. Finally a 4th call came in for an elevator rescue at the Westin Hotel at 1832hrs.
