The members of FMBA Local 483 extend our deepest condolences to Fire Chief John Keating and his family on the passing of his beloved wife, Ursula Keating.
During times of unimaginable loss, it is important that the Toms River community stands together and supports those who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting our community.

Chief Keating has spent his career answering the call and being there for others. Now, in this difficult time, we ask our community to stand with him and his family, offering our support, prayers, and compassion.

On August 6, 2026 Ptl. Thomas Elwood responded to a first aid call for a male with chest pains. Upon his arrival he made contact with the male and obtained basic information while awaiting the arrival of EMS.

While speaking with the male Ptl. Elwood observed the male was in obvious discomfort and tried to place him in a comfortable position. The male then suddenly went unconscious and stopped breathing.

Ptl. Elwood quickly recognized the need for immediate intervention. He placed the male on the ground, prepared his AED and began high quality CPR. While continuing to administer CPR he directed family members on scene to assist. He was the lone first responder on scene.

The male was given one shock from the AED machine and Ptl. Elwood continued CPR until the male regained consciousness and began to breathe on his own.

Ptl. Elwood then maintained close observation of the male while communicating with him and comforting him until the arrival of EMS and medics.

The male left the scene in an ambulance conscious and able to talk.

PBA Local 137 commends Ptl. Elwood for his actions in saving a life, job well done.
