Earlier this week at our monthly tuesday meeting, two of our members Justin Hartmann and Tanner Gorky recieved their black shields, officially ending the probationary period.
This is a big milestone because getting your black shield is more than just completing the probationary period, there are many nights of hard work and training that are involved. Learning where all tools and equipment are on the apparatus, as well as learning the rules and how we operate in this District are just some of what’s required. These two men have put in a lot of time and we wish them luck as they continue their dedication to Millstone Valley and the residents of District One, Congratulations gentlemen! #MillstoneValley #Goodbyeorangeshield ...

This past week has kept the members at Millstone Valley busy, here’s a rundown on some of the serious Incidents.
On 6/15 Franklin D1 was dispatched to an address on Easton Ave for a fire alarm, it was quickly retoned for a smoke condition and a small fire was located inside, fortunately first arriving companies and Franklin Township Fire Inspectors made a quick stop and there was no extension. Squad and Air 28 were on the road but subsequently cancelled.
On 6/14 just before Midnight Station 28 was Dispatched into Franklin District 3 for the 4th alarm structure fire. Squad 28 with a crew of 4 arrived and assisted with fire suppression by pulling a 2.5 inch line off of Engine 25-1 Community Volunteer Fire Co.#1 and setting up a master stream. While Squads crew and Chief 28 operated the master stream, Squad 28 was assigned to tie into the hydrant across from the address and relay pump Tower 26 Elizabeth Avenue VFC. During the fire our drones were requested to the scene. Utility and Air 28 responded and a drone was utilized to see where fire and hot spots remained. Chief 28 was eventually in charge of Aerial/Drone Operations. All MLVFD units cleared from D3 at 7:00am.
On 6/13 at 8:24pm Franklin D1 was dispatched to an address on Willow ave for a reported structure fire. Chief 56 Somerset Fire and Rescue arrived and found an attached garage fully engulfed. A first alarm was called. Due to the quick actions of first arriving companies the fire was held to the garage. Squad and Air 28 arrived and assisted with pulling ceilings and checking for further extension. Thank you to our mutual aid companies for assistance on scene or covering the district.
On 6/9 just after 3:30 pm Station 28 was dispatched to an address off of Taurus Dr in Hillsborough Township for a 2nd alarm structure fire. Squad 28 responded with 5 and after arriving set up as the Rapid Intervention Team. Squads crew stood by for 45 minutes without incident before being released. A quick knock kept this fire to only the involved units. #Millstonevalley

For the 22nd year, Station 28’s softball team made the trip to North Salem, NY for our annual softball game against Pietsch Gardens. This year we brought 5 new players in an attempt to challenge the always tough home team. While we kept it close in the early innings, they were able to get a couple late inning hits and went on to win 10 to 4.
Another great weekend with our brothers up north, and we all look forward to next year.
With the help of our membership, Station 28 completely revamped our website. The decision was made to redesign the website and host with local servers in an attempt to reduce our operating expenses. The concept, design, programming, and photos were all done by our members.
On Saturday night 7/27, Station 28 was dispatched along with the other Fire District #1 companies for a fire alarm at the Crown Plaza at 110 Davidson Ave. Shortly after dispatch, a call from the premise advised of a working fire in a room. Car 28, Car 28B and Car 26B all arrived simultaneously with 28A establishing command, 26B assigned operations, and 28B assigned elevator control. Engine 56-1 arrived first due and immediately deployed a high-rise pack for a fire on the second floor. Upon entry to the fire room, it was found that towels placed over a lamp had caught fire and had since extinguished. The balance of the assignment was cleared.
As Engine 28 was returning to quarters, Hillsborough Fire District was dispatched to 910 Renate Dr for a working apartment fire. 36C5 was first on scene confirming the fire and requested a 2nd alarm, for which Station 28 is the primary RIC for. Air 28, Van 28 and Car 28 responded with a total manpower of 11 members. Upon arrival on scene, RIC 28 was setup on the “A” side. A quick knock down of the fire was made and all 28 units were able to clear the scene within 30 minutes.
On Saturday, July 27th, the Traffic Safety Officers of Somerset County will be at Station 28 performing FREE child seat safety inspections. 3 out of 4 children in child safety seats are not properly secured! Come by and have your seat inspected by certified passenger safety technicians.
On Sunday, April 14th, we will open our doors at 2pm for our Annual Trick Tray. The admission fee is $4 and will include coffee and cakes.
Extra raffles, door prizes and tons of fun gifts will make this an event that can’t be missed.
All drawings will begin promptly at 3pm.
