On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at approximately 935am, a Box alarm was transmitted in Wall Twp for a reported structure fire at Taylor’s Towing 5130 Hurley Pond Road. While enroute it was confirmed to be a working fire in a large 1 story commercial building. Deputy Chief Murray of District 2 took command and requested a second alarm immediately. First arriving units established a water supply went to work on the rear of the building knocking down a large amount of fire. Pictured below Glendola’s Engine273 and Truck 391

The fire went to 4 alarms due to the size of the building and the excessive heat. All members did an excellent job!

2016 TRAINING SCHEDULE

Monday Night Union beach fire company 65-3 came down to South Wall train some RIT with our members.

We covered the “Denver drill” , “Nance Drill , and FF packaging and air management. Great sharing information and different techniques!

The 2015 Annual Flag Football “Turkey Bowl” was held in Neptune this year on Saturday, November 28. It was a great game as always but Neptune pulled out the win by 2 scores! A great team effort by both teams and a fun tradition with our brothers.

On Thursday, The Rescue and 378 responded to a reported subject pinned under a vehicle. Members arrived and quickly stabilized the vehicle and successfully lifted it off of the patient. The patient was tended to by Wall EMS and MONOC – New Jersey’s Hospital Service Corporation. Great job and teamwork by all involved!

On October 23, 2015 around 1550hours a box alarm was transmitted in District 2 for a reported structure fire. South Wall responded with 2 Engines and 2 Chiefs and assisted Glendola and West Belmar with fire suppression and searching the residence.

Since January 1, 2015 the three fire districts in Wall Township decided to enact the box alarm policy. The policy is, 24 hours a day for any reported structure fire all three fire districts will be dispatched automatically. So far all three Districts have worked great together and we look forward to growing together.
