At 00:07 Hrs, we were dispatched to a reported vehicle fire on the Garden State Parkway Southbound at mile marker 133.5. Upon arrival, the Chief reported a working car fire. Engine 2 was the first arriving engine and stretched the 1 3/4" crosslay. Engine 3 was second due and their crew assisted in extinguishment and overhall. All occupants were out of the vehicle upon our arrival.
