On Thursday September 10, 2015 members attended the annual Wall Township 9/11 services at town hall. Following the services South Wall members gathered around our newly constructed 9/11 and fallen members memorial.

The memorial was blessed by a Father from St Dennis Church. The memorial was built around our flag pole mounted on the memorial of our fallen members of South Wall as well as a piece of WTC steel that is mounted on a rock on top of stone in the shape of the Pentagon.

This memorial was completed by countless labor and planning hours by our volunteer members. Alex Burke who is a member of South Wall and the owner of Burke Environmental was an irreplaceable part of constructing the memorial.

We are all very proud of this memorial and our thoughts and prayers are always with the victims lost in the attacks on September 11, 2001. We will Never Forget.

On Tuesday, August 18 around 3pm South Wall was requested into Lake Como today for RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) for a residential fire. Due to heat and manpower issues South Wall was immediately put to work to assist in fire suppression and ventilation. Some picture below courtesy of FF Iorio and Whille.

No one was injured in a fire that gutted a house on 21^st Avenue Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

South Belmar fire Chief Ron Whille said the Lake Como Police Department received a call at around 3 p.m. for a report of smoke coming out of a house.

No one was home at the time of the fire, Whille said. But residents occupied homes on both sides of the house and were told by authorities to evacuate.

Whille said he didn’t know where in the house the fire originated from.

As of 4 p.m., firefighters remained on scene, going in and out of the house, but the bulk of the fire was extinguished. The fire appeared to have caused extensive damage to the interior of the huse, though the structure was still intact.

No residents were injured during the fire, but two firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion, Whille said.

Responding to the scene were firefighters from West Belmar, South Wall, South Belmar, Glendola and Neptune. The County of Monmouth EMS Task Force was also on scene.

In 2014 members of South Wall Fire Rescue with the cooperation of Wall Fire District 3 began Structural Collapse training and building a trailer to respond with. Twenty Five Members have completed over 100 hours training and are compliant now with NFPA Collapse Operations. We have a mutual aid agreement with Neptune Special Ops and are in the process of working with Monmouth County OEM in building our response protocol.

With the help of Senior men and a friend of the fire company Mackenzie Savage who assisted in designing and drawing the patch we are proud to introduce the South Wall Special Operations Patch. Members who are on the collapse team will proudly display this patch.

Out team and members look forward to growing our team in the future and continuing to work with our mutual aid companies.

Special thanks to The Bravest Decals for designing the patch and stickers, also Safety and Survival Training for training our members over the last two years.

South Wall Fire Rescue is proud to announce three recent graduates of the Firefighter 1 program at Middletown Township Fire Academy. These recruits have trained over the last 3 months including 180 hours of classroom and hands on training. We welcome these members as active probationary members in the company and are excited for them to develop into useful and dedicated full members of our department.
