The Plainsboro Professional Firefighters Association would like to remind our residents that smoke from the ongoing Canadian wildfires may impact air quality across New Jersey over the next several days. Hazy skies and the smell of smoke may be noticeable throughout our area as conditions change. Air quality advisories have been issued for portions of the region as the smoke moves south.

To help protect yourself and your family:
• Limit prolonged outdoor activities, especially strenuous exercise.
• Keep windows and doors closed whenever possible.
• Use air conditioning on recirculation mode if available.
• Check in on family members, neighbors, and friends with asthma, heart disease, or other respiratory conditions.

If you experience severe difficulty breathing, are having a medical emergency, or believe the smoke is coming from a nearby fire rather than the Canadian wildfires, call 911 immediately.

Stay informed by monitoring current air quality conditions at AirNow:

Your safety is our priority. Stay aware, stay informed, and stay safe.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from the Plainsboro Professional Firefighters Association IAFF Local 4954! 🇺🇸

Today, as we celebrate our nation’s 250th year, we are reminded that Independence Day is about much more than fireworks, cookouts, and a day off from work. It is a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of those who fought to secure the freedoms we enjoy today—and of the generations of service members who have continued to defend them.

As firefighters, we understand the importance of service, sacrifice, and answering the call when our community needs us most. We are proud to carry on those values each and every day while serving the residents of Plainsboro Township.

As you celebrate with family and friends, please do so safely. Remember to leave fireworks to the professionals, keep an eye on grills and open flames, and look out for one another.

From all of us at the Plainsboro Professional Firefighters Association IAFF Local 4954, we wish you and your families a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day.

Happy 4th of July, and Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸🚒

🚨 Back-to-Back Fires Challenge Plainsboro Firefighters 🚨

Yesterday at 4:52 PM, Plainsboro Fire Department was dispatched to assist East Windsor for a brush fire while simultaneously responding to a reported mulch fire at Quail Ridge. As crews arrived, the Quail Ridge incident rapidly escalated into a working fire involving multiple vehicles, hedges, and landscape beds, prompting a First Alarm assignment.

With active incidents occurring across the region, mutual aid companies from West Windsor, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton, Monroe Fire District #2, and Hamilton Township responded to assist. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all agencies, the fire was brought under control before it could spread further into the surrounding area.

Plainsboro Fire Department EMTs and Police Officers assisted with evacuations, extinguishing spot fires, and supporting fire suppression efforts. A total of nine vehicles were damaged or destroyed by the fire.

At the same time, Brush 49 operated at a fast-moving 5-acre brush fire in East Windsor before returning to assist in town.

Additionally Squad 49 responded to assist Franklin Fire District #2 as a RIT Team at a building fire in their local. These incidents were just 3 of 14 Fire and EMS responses handled by our department yesterday. We thank all of our mutual aid partners for their assistance and remind residents to use caution when disposing of smoking materials and hot embers around dry mulch and landscaping.

As we spend time with family and friends today, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this holiday and remember the fallen heroes who will never be forgotten.

From our family to yours, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

VALOR AWARD

Plainsboro Township firefighter and IAFF Local 4954 Austin McGinley received the prestigious Valor Award last night at the annual awards ceremony of the Middlesex County 200 Club.

McGinley and his crew were operating at a warehouse fire in South Brunswick in May 2025 when they experienced a collapse of high stacked palletized contents inside the building which struck and injured several members of the crew. Firefighter McGinley quickly stepped into action and assisted his fellow firefighters to the outside of the building where they received medical attention. His quick thinking and calculated actions resulted in the injured members being located and removed quickly. Please join us in congratulating him for this honor.

Firefighter McGinley joined the fire department as a full time member in 2022 after serving as a volunteer for several years prior. He serves as the secretary of our local. He is an invested and dedicated member of the organization. He lives nearby with his Wife Alexa, their daughter and dog.

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate all EMS professionals — especially our dedicated members and our incredible mutual aid partners — for the lifesaving work they perform every single day.

Whether responding to medical emergencies, providing critical patient care, assisting during large-scale incidents, or simply being there for residents during their most difficult moments, EMS professionals continue to answer the call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our members go above and beyond to serve the residents of Plainsboro Township with professionalism, compassion, and commitment.

This EMS Week is especially meaningful for our department, as it marks the first year we are able to celebrate after officially expanding our role to provide EMS coverage throughout Plainsboro Township. In addition to serving our own community, our members proudly assist neighboring departments through mutual aid responses across the surrounding area.

To all EMS providers — thank you for your sacrifices, dedication, and unwavering service to the communities you protect. We are proud to stand alongside you.

Earlier today at 13:53 hours, The Plainsboro Township Fire Department (A-Shift) was dispatched to a reported dwelling fire in the Gentry section of town.

Engine 49 arrived to find a 2-story single-family residence with fire showing from the roof. Crews quickly stretched an attack line and had water on the fire within 60 seconds of arrival, while simultaneously establishing a positive water supply within 3 minutes. Due to the aggressive and coordinated efforts of responding crews, the fire was knocked down and contained to the area of origin within 6 minutes of arrival.

We would like to thank our mutual aid partners from the Princeton Fire Department, West Windsor Fire & Emergency Services, Monroe Ladder 23, Monroe Ladder 57, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Fire Department Engine 66, and Kingston Volunteer Fire Company for their assistance on scene with checking for extension and placing ground ladders around the structure.

The scene was ultimately turned over to the Plainsboro Township Fire Marshal’s Office for investigation. Engine 49 operated on scene for approximately one hour.
