Asbury Park (Acting) Fire Captain Jason Fazio remains in critical with 3rd degree burns over 50% at the St. Barnabas Burn Center in Livingston. He also suffered from multiple fractures including his femur, pelvis and ribs, due to the bail out. Initial reports are that he did have a bailout system but there simply was no time to deploy it. Captain Fazio was operating in that 2nd floor apartment Monday when he was forced to immediately dive out a window when the apartment flashed over, according to APFD Chief Kevin Keddy, who updated us this evening. The fire has been determined to be accidental and originated in the front bedroom of the second-floor apartment-which is the room that flashed over. Captain Fazio, who joined the APFD in 1994, was in the 2nd floor apartment, when “flashed over” according to Chief Keddy. Fire companies that assisted Asbury Park came from Neptune, Ocean Township and Fort Monmouth. Keep him in your prayers.
