The Boonton Fire Department responded to the blaze in the township just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 17, the squad said.

Upon arrival, crews found the pool house fully engulfed, as well as a large brush fire near it, prompting the setup of two attack lines, the department said.

A second BFD truck arrived a short time later to initiate the overhaul process and ensure the fire was fully doused.

The scene was cleared just over two hours later, the department said.
