On August 19, 2026, in Hunterdon County, the Holland Township Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to Goff Lane following reports of a structure fire. Initial arriving officers reported a fully involved barn measuring approximately 100 by 75 feet, with fire conditions already well advanced upon arrival.

Command was quickly established, and additional mutual aid resources were requested to assist with fire suppression operations. The first-arriving units confirmed that no occupants or animals were inside the structure, allowing crews to focus fully on defensive firefighting and property protection efforts.

Firefighters from Holland Township coordinated closely with multiple assisting agencies, including Pattenburg Fire Company, Bloomsbury Hose Company, Frenchtown Fire Department (Station 11), Glen Gardner Fire Department (Station 12), Kingwood Township Fire Company (Station 16), Pattenburg Fire Company (Station 25), Clinton Fire Department (Station 45), Alpha Fire Company (Station 82), Phillipsburg Fire Department (Station 94), Greenwich Township Fire Department (Station 98), Quakertown Fire Company (Station 91), Upper Black Eddy Fire Company (Station 47), South Branch Emergency Services (Station 36), Milford Fire Department (Station 92), Whitehouse Fire Company (Station 22), Milford-Holland Rescue Squad (Station 92R), Huntington Fire Company (Station 75), and Holland Township DPW.

Crews worked in challenging conditions for an extended period, conducting exterior fire suppression, protecting exposures, and systematically bringing the fire under control.

Once the main body of fire was knocked down, personnel remained on scene to perform extensive overhaul operations. This included breaking apart structural components, checking for hidden hot spots, and ensuring complete extinguishment to prevent rekindle. Crews remained on scene until midnight before all units were gradually released by command and returned to service.
