On March 2, 2010, the Iselin Fire Department Bureau of Fire Prevention conducted a fire watch at the former Ronson/Zippo Butane Fuel plant on Ronson Road. Fire Inspector Quattrone, representing the Bureau, was on scene leading the fire watch. Crews from Engine 9-6 and Utility 9-3-5 stood by as technicians from the Zippo Company offloaded a Butane fuel container into a tanker truck and then burned off any excess fuel remaining in the lines. The crews, consisting of Driver FF/EMT Bennett, 1st Lieutenant Hoydis, FF/EMT Pires, & Probationary FF McPartland on 9-6, and FF/EMT DiPrima & FF/EMT Rebovich on 9-3-5, stood by and ensured that the burns were conducted properly and safely.
