Today's Hunterdon County Technical Rescue Task Force call in High Bridge. Tower Ladder 17 and crew responded as part of the HCTRTF.
*ALERT*
It had been brought to our attention today that the man in this picture is going door to door in our town, and in other towns, claiming that he is collecting funds for Amwell Valley Fire Company.
Please be assured that this is not one of our members, nor is he connected to AVFC in any way. If he approaches you, please do not give him any donations and notify your local law enforcement. We also advise, especially with our current events, that you do not even open your door. We are notifying our local police as well.
Than you all for your help in this matter.
Pepper spray fixes a lot of problems. Don’t neglect the groin once the face is fully bathed
Wow wow wow
“Hunterdon County Seeking Medical Equipment Donations”
Hunterdon County is coordinating donations of needed personal protective equipment for healthcare employees and first responders. There is a nationwide shortage in the supply chain and you can help. For more information or to donate, please visit: www.co.hunterdon.nj.us/Coronavirus/PPE-Donations.html
On Monday 16 March at 1228 Hours, the Lambertville Fire Department was dispatched with other agencies on Level 3 Fire Box 2116 for a reported structure fire on Old York Road near Clover Hill Road in Raritan Township. Patrol officers from the RTPD arrived on scene moments later and confirmed a working fire.
Squrt 17 responded in less than a minute. As Squrt 17 responded out Old York Road, a column of smoke was visible while still a couple of miles out. As the rig neared the scene, the crew stopped at the intersection of Old York and Sterling Way to hit the hydrant and establish a water supply. Squrt 17 laid 900' of 5" supply line to the scene and positioned in the driveway, supplying water to Squad 21 and Quint 21. Engine 48 pumped the supply line from the hydrant. The crew of the Squrt assisted with fire suppression and ventilation. A two alarm assignment was required to eventually bring the fire under control.
Once the fire was under control, the crews of Quakertown Engine 91 and Flemington - Raritan Heavy Rescue 495 assisted the Squrt crew with packing the 5" hose. The Squrt was back in the city by 1500 Hours, with the crew then cleaning all equipment used at the fire.
Video from yesterday’s house fire in Raritan Township we responded to with Squrt17.
Good job
THE BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELLED
THE NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING WILL BE HELD ON APRIL 21, 2020
The Lambertville Fire Department Special Operations Team hosted the Hunterdon County Technical Rescue Task Force drill last night at fire headquarters. HCTRTF members reviewed various rope rescue skills in preparation for a full scale exercise scheduled for later this month.
Annual fire pump testing for the apparatus today. The testing system recycles the water used during the operation.
Thanks to Eagle Fire Company for filling up the testing tank with Tanker 46.
The Department kept busy again in February with 24 calls for service.
Junior Fire Academy continued with juniors from LFD, West Amwell Fire, Stockton Fire, and New Hope Fire.
Below is a break down of calls/incidents
The junior firefighters continued with their training program this evening, focusing on the proper care and use of self-contained breathing apparatus. Multiple repetitions of donning and doffing their personal protective equipment and SCBA hopefully established some good habits which will help them with future training.
This was the eighth session for the junior firefighter training program, with young people from Lambertville FD, New Hope - Eagle FC, Stockton VFC, Sergeantsville VFC, and West Amwell FC participating. The junior firefighters act in a support role on emergency scenes, assisting firefighters in a number of ways. Their training as junior members hopefully encourages them to continue on to Firefighter 1 certification once they reach the age of 18.
My pizza offer still stands!!
Awesome work! Love it!
