Here’s a couple of events that rounded out the end of September!
On September 20th Our ladies auxiliary hosted their 29th annual tricky tray! Members and their families took part in checking tickets and running over 300 baskets to the lucky winners, the ladies did a wonderful job as always and put a lot of hard work and time into getting everything ready. It was a great turn out with over 200 people! Thank you to the firefighters that came out to help the ladies on that busy day!
On September 26th around 3:00 pm our Large Fan was requested into North Brunswick for the CO incident in a warehouse, Utility 28 with the fan arrived to assist North Brunswick Firefighters and Middlesex County Hazmat with ventilating the building. After an hour on scene we were released.
On September 28th members from Our Station and Somerset County Hazmat met up to get a demonstration on tanker trucks that carry fuel. Members were shown different parts of the truck and where shut off valves are while also getting a general idea of how they are set up. This kind of information helps our members gain a better understanding when assisting other companies in emergency situations. Thank you to the company for coming out to demonstrate!
Finally, a general reminder that our open house is THIS Saturday! Weather is supposed to be beautiful this year so we hope to see everyone there! Look back on our previous post for more details! #MillstoneValley #keepinbusy

On Tuesday 9/10/24 around 3:45 pm Station 28 was dispatched for our brush truck into Hillsborough Township for a large brush fire on Amwell Rd. Brush 28 and Ranger 28-1 responded and after arriving was immediately tasked with using the booster reels off of them for fire suppression. Due to the large area of brush and logs that were on fire the crew was eventually switched to man two 2.5in hand lines to help contain and wet the area down. Our members assisted Hillsborough and surrounding companies for over 4 hours until the fire was placed under control. Great work by all! #100%Volunteer #millstonevalley #mutualaid

Who is your chief. Bless him.
Deputy 28 and Squad 28 responded to this incident and stood by for a short time as interior crews finished opening up and checking for extension. We were cleared soon after. Another great stop by Hillsborough Township companies!

With the impending heavy rainfall from hurricane debby, flooding is a great risk in a lot of areas. Please remember to turn around and avoid high water, even if it looks low enough to cross, it can be much higher. Stay safe everyone!

On 7/21/24 at 6:30 pm our Deputy Chief , Squad and Air responded into Hillsborough Township for the first alarm structure fire. Upon arrival of the Deputy Chief and Squad 28 , command asked for half the crew to head inside to the basement to assist while companies were still getting on scene. Two of our members assisted with fire attack, checking the ceiling for hot spots and getting the basement ventilated using the hose line. Once more companies arrived the two members joined back up with RIT. Air 28 arrived with more members to supplement the crew.
Once the fire was confirmed out a few of our members were asked to go to the back and assist with overhaul on the outside of the house. Around 8:45 we were clear and returning to town. Great work by the Hillsborough companies and a thank you to our members that could make it out to assist. #millstonevalley #mutualaid

Last night around 9:30pm our weekand duty crew responded with Station 56 Somerset Fire and Rescue to 1135 Easton Ave for an MVC with confirmed entrapment, Deputy Chief, Squad and Air 28 made the response and when arriving crews split up to stretch the bumper line off the Squad as a precautionary measure while Rescue 56 continued with extrication. The patient was removed quickly and transferred over to EMS, we remained on scene to assist with containing fluid spills from the crash and awaited the tow service to remove the vehicles. We were cleared an hour later, great work! #millstonevalley #MVC
