Great website. The best trained and manned fire department in Burlington County. Always was and always will be. I served under some great firefighters including Norm Cheeseman and Howard Gaskill. The fire company molded my life career and I will always be greatful.

Was tipped off to the website by the previous signator, Scott Sprankle, we work together in my off duty job, and he is constantly bragging on you guys. Nice job on the website, you can e-mail me anytime with stories regarding Scott, although guys as old as us may predate recorded history. Keep up the good work.

Tripped over the website, brings back some terrific memories. I started in the fire company in 1972, seeing some of the old names in the guestbook is pretty cool.

I visited the site to view the motor vehicle accident involving a friend of our family and her children. I was very impressed with the action by those who first arrived on the scene as well as the other members of the fire and ems.
I am sure the family when they can will thank your departments for the quick response and the care you all took while saving her life. God bless all of you and keep you safe.

Hello y'all. I was around when Floyd Adams, Norm Cheeseman, and Frank Ferek were all passing through the Chief officer ranks. All of these guys were great friends. I see some familiar names here. I was Chief when we fought our way to get on Burlington County Central Dispatch. Hope you all don't hate me for that!!

To all who serve, you do very good work. I had the previlege to serve from 1978 to 1984. Those were very good times in my life. Let us never forget Norm "THE DEP" Cheeseman. I'm truely sorry for your loss.
Keep up all the good work & may God bless & keep you all. Ingram
I just found your website! I served as a volunteer 1969-1981. Without a doubt this was the highlight of my working life. Only those who have been firefighters understand the camraderie and feelings of brotherhood. I was sorry to hear of the passing of Norm Cheesemen. He was my Chief for many years, great firefighter, great person! What ever happened to the 1953 750 gal Mack?
PS you sold the old 1616 Mack to a Fire Company here in Arkansas, I went to see it. It was still in great shape!

I used to live in Garfield North back in the 70's. Yesterday, my old friend and neighbor was in our old neighborhood and emailed us that our old home was completely gone, and there was only an empty lot. I googled our old address 44 Norwood Lane, and had my heart broke to see my childhood home completely gone. Thank God that everyone was safe and no one was hurt. I know it takes a lot of dedication not only of the fire and rescue squads but also their families. To the men and women plus their families THANK YOU for serving not only your community, but also our country. Thank you for posting the story. Be Safe. Regards, Janette B

Great web site. Sure brings back lots of great memories of my younger days as a volunteer in the boro. Hello to all the guys and gals providing community service to my home town. From all my years as a member (12 I think), my lasting legacy is probably that I dragged Andrade in to join the department. So sorry to hear about the passing of Norm, he was quite a role model from my days as a Junior member who could not wait to be allowed to ride the apparatus through my years as a member and line Officer. I learned a lot about leadership by watching him on the firgrounds. He will be missed. Be safe, Stu
Nice job, Mark! The site is very interactive and frequently updated. High energy and very informative. One of the best I've seen. Be safe. See yeah on the next one.
Site looks great, Stay safe and keep'em comming...
