Past Chief/Firefighter Andy Cunard
Andy joined the Medford Farms Fire Company in 2008 prior to it becoming Tabernacle Fire Company, after having served as a firefighter in Deptford Fire Department with the Almonesson Fire Company that he joined as a Jr. Firefighter where he also served as a Fire Commissioner for the Fire District. Andy also is a past member of Indian Mills Volunteer Fire Company Station 281 prior to coming to Tabernacle. Upon joining Tabernacle, Andy would quickly become a valued asset to the residents of Tabernacle, not only as a firefighter, but as a teacher for the Lenape School District at Senaca and a local football coach for our youth. Andy would go on to move up the ranks of TFC, serving as Lieutenant, Captain, Deputy Fire Chief and finally being elected as Fire Chief in 2020. Chief Cunard would only serve in this position for a short period due to time commitments that were keeping him overly busy. Chief Cunard today is still a very active Firefighter, who was instrumental in the participation of TFC with the Burlington County Technical Rescue Team With his 37 years of firefighter experience. Firefighting is instilled in the Cunard family; numerous generations of firefighters including his 2 sons, who are current members of Tabernacle Fire Company’s Special Operations Team. Chief Cunard is someone that the members of TFC #1 can turn to for guidance at a moments notice and Chief Cunard never falls short of a lending hand whatever the need may be. The members of fire company thank you Chief Cunard for all you have done, continue to do and will do in the future for the company and its members, thank you for your leadership and friendship!
