It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden passing of Ladies Auxiliary member Teresa Tighe. While Teresa only joined our Ladies Auxiliary a year and a half ago, her presence around the firehouse was very much felt. Whether it was her infectious smile, her soft voice saying hello or just always trying to help with whatever project was going on around the firehouse, she was someone we were lucky to have in our lives. We ask that you keep her family and friends in your thoughts as they try to navigate this tragic loss. Rest in peace Teresa, you will never be forgotten.

Yesterday at 6:39pm while our weekand duty crew began washing the Apparatus for today’s egg hunt event, District 1 was dispatched to an address in Millstone Borough for a reported Structure Fire. Squad 28 was on the road shortly after and arrived with no smoke or fire visible from the driveway, Lieutenant Danberry established command.

Squad 28 crew investigated and located a small fire in the cabinets under the electric stove and extinguished it quickly using a water can. The bumper line was stretched dry as a precaution but wasn’t needed. Extensive overhaul in the area of the fire was needed to make sure the fire didn’t travel anywhere else. Crews from @eavfc26 @svfrc1 and @middlebushfire assisted with checking for extension, overhaul and ventilation. Ladder 25 @cvfc_1 was also requested to assist.

D1 units were cleared after an hour with the exception of Chief 28, Deputy 28 and Squad 28 who remained on scene to assist with Fire Preventions investigation. There were no injuries and the fire was contained to a small area in the kitchen. Great work to all responding companies. #MillstoneValley #teameffort ... See MoreSee Less

On Sunday 3/30/25 just before 12:00pm Station 28 was dispatched to the area of Hilltop Lane and South middlebush to assist Franklin Township PD with locating a missing plane. Chief 28, Air 28, Utility 28 with the drones, Brush 28 with rangers #1 and #2 and fire police 28 responded with a total of 9 members. Chief 28 arrived, established command, and directed the Drone Team to come down Hilltop Lane to April Lane and set up at the end of the road. Station 44 Middlebush Volunteer Fire Dept was also requested for their Argo to assist.

Two drones were in the air soon after arrival and began a grid search of the surrounding area to try and locate the Plane. As time passed more information from the FAA was given to Franklin PD which was relayed to us and narrowed the area to search until finally at 1:22 pm the crash site was located. Sadly the Pilot of the Aircraft did not survive. The members of Station 28 give their sincere Condolences to the Family and Friends on this tragic loss.

Stations 28 and 44 remained on scene to assist PD until 2:20 pm when we were released. #millstonevalley ... See MoreSee Less

On 3/8/25 at 9:30 in the morning Station 28 was dispatched for our Drone Response Team into Bedminster Township to assist PD with a missing person. Utility 28 and Air 28 made the response with 7 members. Once getting on scene and meeting with Bedminster PD we were given a last known area of where the person may have went and put 2 Drones in the air to begin searching.

We spent a few hours assisting in the search checking numerous wooded areas before it was determined that our services would no longer be needed. We returned to our District just after 12:00pm. We are happy to say that the missing person was found safe and sound earlier this week. We are always happy to assist our neighboring towns in any way that we can. #millstonevalley #droneresponseteam ... See MoreSee Less

Here’s a few calls recently that our members responded too!

Early this morning around 6:30 am Franklin District 1 was dispatched to an address on Davidson Ave for a fire alarm, on the arrival of Engine 26-1 @eavfc26 they advised heavy smoke was coming from the front of the building with workers saying a dust collector was on fire inside, and quickly upgraded the assignment to a first alarm. Squad 28 responded with 3 and arrived 3rd due behind Engine 56-1 @svfrc1 , thankfully with swift actions from 26 and 56s crew the fire was quickly knocked down with just heavy smoke remaining in the building. Tanker 44 @middlebushfire arrived to supply engine 26-1 until the fire was confirmed out.

Members from SQ28 assisted in overhaul and began ventilation. Utility 28 with our Large Fan also responded to assist with ventilation due to the size of the building. We remained on scene with Franklin Township Fire Prevention until the smoke was clear. At 8:30 am all 28 units were clear. As always thank you to our mutual aid companies for assistance on scene and covering the district.

On Friday 2/28/25 just before 11:00am Station 28 was dispatched to standby in quarters for a 2nd alarm structure fire in Bound Brook, shortly after that dispatch it was upgraded to a 3rd alarm and we were re directed to the scene. Deputy 28 and Squad 28 with 3 responded and remained on scene for a few hours before being reassigned to standby at Bound Brook station 3 with Ladder 61 @mtbethelfire. At 4:30 pm we were clear and returning to District 1.

On 2/25/25 District 1 was dispatched into Millstone Borough in the area of Amwell Rd and Somerset Courthouse Rd for a reported brush fire. Squad 28 and Ranger 28 were on scene shortly after dispatch and after a thorough invest of the area with Franklin Township Fire Prevention, it was determined there was no fire and it was a machine starting up for the day. Units cleared up soon after.

Also an update with the new Car 28! It will be getting lettered soon and off to receive lights shortly after that! We can’t wait to see it rolling the streets in the next month or 2! #MillstoneValley ... See MoreSee Less
