On 8/31/23 Millstone Valley was asked to assist #highlandparkfiredept with standing by for their firework show. Our Brush truck and Rangers with 4 members stood by for a few hours until the fireworks were done, and checked the area for any lingering hot spots. What a great show! We are always happy to assist other departments when we can. Thank you to the members that could make it! #millstonevalley #fireworkstandby Highland Park Volunteer Fire Department
❗️Attention❗️ One of our dedicated members has suffered a medical emergency and is in need of our help.
“For 45 years, Bob Amos has been an active firefighter and public servant to his community. Recently Bob suffered a devastating stroke that has left him unable to use his right side. He can no longer drive or work and needs months of physical and occupational therapy to try to get back to some state of normal. This includes around the clock care, with many incurring medical bills and fees.
Through the brotherhood of firefighting my Hope is we can relieve some of his stress and burden through financial support. Any amount of money will go a long way to his recovery.”
Millstone Valley is reaching out to help with this sudden situation. Any donation is a huge help. The link to the go fund me is in our facebook profile. Any questions please message us. Thank you all.

On 8/22/23 Members from Millstone Valley, K9 officers from Somerset County Sheriff’s Office , #njstateparkpolice and #warrentownshippolice finally had a beautiful day to conduct our search drill utilizing the Police Dogs , Drones, and Ranger. Due to our capabilities with our drones we are asked to assist on many search and rescue missions to access places that are either hard to get to on foot or to split up and search a different area. Ironically enough as we conducted this drill our Drones were requested into South Brunswick for 2 missing children. Upon arrival of Utility 28 the children were located and we were released soon after. Thank you to the members who could make it out to train with our local Law Enforcement and a special thanks to the K9 Officers who came out to train with us! We look forward to training with you guys again! #millstonevalley #searchdrill Somerset County Sheriff's Office Warren Township Police Department
Yesterday we stood by in station with a crew of 3 for our neighbors in Hillsborough. We were released an hour later. Always assisting when we can!This afternoon we responded with the other district fire companies for a report of an oven fire on Craig Drive. Upon arrival, FM10-E found smoke showing and a kitchen fire which had been mostly knocked down by occupants. Crews stretched an attack hoseline and worked to open the walls and ceilings to check for fire extension. The fire had extended into the cabinets and above the ceiling. Crews removed burned materials and wet the area down. Ventilation and salvage was performed as well. Our Engine, Ladder and Deputy Chief Responded. Coverage for additional calls were provided by Neshanic and Millstone Valley Fire Companies
Earlier in the morning we responded to a trash truck fire on Marshall Rd. Mini-Pumper 10 and Engine 36 extinguished a small brake fire on the truck. Our Engine and Deputy Chief Responded.
This afternoon we responded to an odor of natural gas in a home on Amwell Road. Crews found a leaking gas line for a clothes dryer. They were able to quickly stop the leak and ventilate the home. Our Engine, Ladder, Special Services unit and Deputy Chief Responded.
All of these responses were handled with our team of volunteer and full time firefighters working together. Don’t forget to some see us tomorrow night at Mountainview Park for the National Night Out from 6-9pm.
On Sunday 7-30-23 Members from Elizabeth Ave @eavfc26 , Somerset Fire and Rescue @svfrc1 , and our members attended our yearly District Drill which was hosted by Elizabeth Ave on Hazmat Decon setup and operations. Members from these stations familiarized themselves on the equipment inside Hazmat 26 along with setting up the Decon station and an understanding as to why everything needs to be setup accordingly. A few months ago District 1 had a hazmat situation that required a decontamination station to be setup for the Hazmat technicians that were inside. Training on this situation will make sure we setup correctly and keeps us ready for future calls like this. Thank you to the members at Station 26 for the knowledge and showing us how to effectively assist in these situations. Also thank you to all of our members who could make it! #millstonevalley #teameffort #hazmatdrill
Yesterday at 15:46 hrs Franklin District 1 was dispatched to a warehouse at 13 Jenson Dr for a fire alarm. Shortly after @eavfc26 @middlebushfire @svfrc1 arrived and began to investigate it was upgraded to a first alarm due to heavy smoke in the building. Further investigation revealed a fire near the loading dock that was kept in check from the sprinkler system. MVFD units that responded were Deputy 28, Squad 28, Air 28, Utility 28 with the Fan, and Brush 28 with a total of 14 members. Squad 28 just clearing from another call with station 56 arrived and pulled to the rear of the loading dock and stretched a line for the crews already inside. The fire was quickly brought under control and crews began overhaul/ ventilation.
As always a big thank you to our mutual aid companies who assisted us on scene and covered the district. At 18:22 hrs units were clear and the scene was turned over to fire prevention. Also thank you to @findernefirestation30 for letting us repost the interior photos they took after the fire was knocked down. The photos show conditions crews were met with upon entry of the building. #millstonevalley #teameffort
