CLINTON NJ–During a controlled burn today, a firefighter with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service was struck and killed by a vehicle on a road way with reduced visibility because of smoke.

According to a news report published by the Hunterdon County Democrat and N.J.com, the firefighter, who was not identified, did not survive injuries suffered after he was struck.

The collision happened on Stanton-Lebanon Road (Route 629) near Round Valley late Thursday morning when heavy smoke may have reduced visibility during shifting winds during a controlled burn along the route, according to the newspaper report.

Responders from Clinton Rescue Squad and Clinton Township were summoned to the scene at about 11:30 a.m. Paramedics from the Hunterdon Medical Center also responded.

The incident is under investigation by the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Collision Team and Clinton police.

Pending notification of family members, the firefighter’s name is being withheld, according to authorities.

Firehouse.com News will provide additional information when it becomes available.

Ewing, NJ … The College of New Jersey baseball team suffered a 10-8 setback at the hands of Ursinus College on Thursday afternoon at George Ackerman Park.

The Lions (6-9) scored two runs in the ninth at the tying run on second, but the Bears (4-10) were able to escape the threat to snap a five-game losing streak.

New York City Nanny, er, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is bankrolling a $12 million television ad campaign to lobby senators in key states, Pennsylvania included, to vote for new gun-control legislation, specifically universal background checks.

But a dangerous thing happened on the way to a TV screen near you.

In one of the ads, a supposed common guy outfitted in a flannel shirt, seated on the tailgate of a pickup truck and touting \”responsible\” gun ownership, violates three fundamental rules of safe gun handling.

As Emily Miller of The Washington Times first reported, the man, with children playing in the background, holds a shotgun in an unsafe position — to his side, when it should be either straight up or down.

Additionally, his finger appears to be on the trigger. Gun safety rules long promoted by that dastardly lobby known as the National Rifle Association (and every other safety group) call for the forefinger — the trigger finger — to point straight ahead, placed above the trigger guard, to prevent accidental firing.
