November 10, 2015 This weekend Jacobstown Fire Company and Cookstown Fire Company had a joint training session learning about how to evacuate horses from a burning building. We understand that horses are a huge investment for their owners as well as a member of the family. We invested our time in this training to ensure we provide the best service to our two and four legged citizens. Additionally, happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps. And thank you Veterans for your service. October 13, 2015 As summer fades away and temperatures begin to cool, we begin to
transition from running air conditioners to heaters, furnaces, and
fireplaces. Jacobstown Fire Company would like to remind
everyone to operate these heating units for the first time, during
daylight hours and while someone is home to watch. Many
malfunctions happen within the first few times of use after being
dormant for the warmer months. Heater malfunctions can be
misfires, cracked internal parts, or clogged chimneys. Any of
these malfunctions can lead to Carbon Monoxide buildup or Fire.
Additionally check and test all carbon monoxide detectors and smoke
detectors before using heating equipment. When in doubt call a
certified repairman or inspector to assist in restarting heating
systems. If any alarm sounds call, as both fire or Carbon
Monoxide are deadly. Special congratulations to our Fire Lieutenant and Chief Petty Officer Edward Lubas on his recent retirement from the United States Navy. After 24 years of dedicated service we say thank you for serving our country and our community. August 24, 2015 Congratulations to North Hanover Fire Chief Benjamin Palombi who was sworn in on August 19 as Honorary Commander of the Joint Base Mcguire-Dix-Lakehurst.
July 14, 2015 As summer heats up weather can become rather unpredictable. This was evident in the severe storms that struck the southern area of Burlington County. Jacobstown Fire Company was called to assist in the response to these emergencies. As our area is still rural, power outages and other severe weather emergencies are a common occurrence for many of our residents. Be sure to check out our preparedness section and FEMA's website for tips for preparing for these events. Be sure to monitor our Facebook page for updates and news. Summer is also a great time to start your volunteer career with our department. Training is provided and college credits are available. June 17, 2015 Members of Jacobstown Fire Company and North Hanover Police Department training together to recertify in CPR. Training together ensures that we work together flawlessly during an emergency. This provides the high level of service. CPR classes will be open to the public in the future so check back here and our Facebook page for details.
