The Officers and Members of Toms River Fire Co. #2 would like to thank everyone that came out to support us at the Easter Bunny Breakfast. At 1st it was a little crazy but it all worked out in the end. Thank You Everyone.

Congratulations to Bob "Ski", Asst. Chief Beebe and John Novak for receiving citations at the awards ceremony.

2631 was involved in a minor traffic accident while responding to a working structure fire in Silverton Friday evening.  It appears that the vehicle failed to yeild to the apparatus and took an abrupt action that caused the accident.  As Safety Officer I think this is a good illustration of how important it is to wear your seat belt.  As far as apparatus drivers are concerned, drive slower rather then faster and be prepared for any and all actions from other drivers.  In this incident our driver and acting officer were communicating regarding the traffic ahead and were operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Congratulations to FF Sean Kumpf and his wife Eva on the birth of their son. Hopefully in 18 years we will have a new Firefighter.

The Officers and Members of Toms River Fire Company #2 wish them the best!

Toms River Fire Company No. 2 Firefighters received a generous donation of a pickup truck load of toys from an unknown benefactor.  Our members sorted the toys and took a load to Community Medical Center.  The toys were distributed to children who were in the hospital.  This was done on Sunday December 23rd.  Company 2 Firefighters also took gifts over to our host family the Huff's.  Due to the amount of toys donated and the short time frame most of the toys could not be distributed.  The bulk of the toys were put in storage to be used next year when we have more time to better sort and distribute them for Christmas 2013.  Thanks to all members who helped out.  Special thanks to Billy Mazzeo, John Novak, Michael LeMore, Ken Hamilton, Bob Hoehn and Alan Robertson.

The Toms River Fire Company # 2 responded to hurdreds of calls during Hurricane Sandy. While this was going on our very own firehouse was taking on water. We had severe damage to our main station, causing major damage to our building and the contents inside. The Volunteer Fire Company is now responsible for funds to rebuild and replace everything lost.

With that being said, California fire fighters are raising money to help our volunteers rebuild their fire house here in Toms River. We would be very thankful to anyone who can join in our efforts to help!

OCFA Reserve Firefighters are raising funds to help the Toms River Fire Co. #2 to get back on their feet after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Let's help them get back to serving their community.
