Three firefighters were injured in a fire in a Wall Twp. business that began this morning was extinguished shortly after noon.
WALL TOWNSHIP -- Three firefighters from the Glendola Fire Department were injured Thursday battling a blaze at Taylor's Towing on Hurley Pond Road, authorities said.
Police said one of the firefighters was treated at the scene and released. The other two were taken to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune for treatment. All had non-life threatening injuries, authorities said.
It took from 9:35 a.m. when firefighters first responded until about 12:15 p.m. when the fire was extinguished, police said Thursday afternoon.
The Monmouth County Tanker Task Force was called to the scene because there were no fire hydrants near the location of the fire, authorities said.
Firefighters from nine departments fought the blaze.
Police said traffic was diverted from West Hurley Pond Road for about 5 hours.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Wall Township Police Department and the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
