Special Council meeting tonight, August 12 at 6pm. Please attend and voice your concerns with the Township's proposed ordinance to dissolve Fire District #4.

On July 28th the Mayor claimed "an average of barely one call a week" in District 4. FALSE

These statements not only don't align with each other, but they are both FALSE on their own.

Over the past 12 months Distict 4 responded to an average of 16 calls per month in District.
In the past week alone, District 4 has responded to 10 calls in District. These calls included a fire at an industrial property, a fire alarm activation at a multifamily building, brush fire and multiple motor vehicle accidents.

🚒 Woodbridge officials have voted to move forward with closing the 117-year-old Keasbey Fire District No. 4.

The next scheduled public meeting regarding the proposed closure of our Department is Wednesday August 12 at the Woodbridge Municipal Building.

The council voted Tuesday unanimously to redo the ordinance dissolving Keasbey Fire District Number Four. The mayor laid out his fullest public case yet for the merger. A Keasbey firefighter's family member pushed back with a personal story about a fire that spared her family's home. More in comments ⬇️
