Just after midnight on May 20, 2013 Randolph fire fighters were dispatched to 3 Farmstead Court East on a reported garage fire. Upon arrival heavy fire was showing from a 1.5 story ranch type dwelling. A second alarm was transmitted. Tower Ladder 43 went in service with the aerial as heavy fire raced through the attic of the home and burned through the roof. Multiple handlines were also working the fire from all sides of the structure. Mutual aid responded from Mendham (Brookside Engine Co.) as well a R.I.T. from Chester and Netcong. The fire was knocked down with 40 minutes. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
