A JCP&L crew had been working on the transformer on the pole earlier in the day, and the wires arced when it was re-energized, he said. That fire then sparked a brush fire in the nearby grasses.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the electric utility was still on scene and was able to de-energize the transformer so the fire could be put out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey de-energized everything and they\u2019re now going to be repairing it again,\u201d Batzel said.<\/p>\n<p>Damage was limited to the pole itself, and JCP&L crews could be seen beginning to take over from firefighters after about 30 minutes. By that time, flames were no longer visible and the fire was out.<\/p>\n<p>Batzel said Laurelton Fire Company led the firefighting effort and Fire District No. 2 was called out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2019\/08\/watch-firefighters-battle-blaze-at-brick-marina\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple Brick Township fire companies responded to a fire that broke out at Green Cove Marina, located on Division Street off Princeton Avenue, on Thursday afternoon.
