As we all remember the tradgedy 5 years ago, I want to specifically
mention the Firefighters. My husband and I were firefighters for 8 years
and it was THE most fulfillng thing we ever did in our lives. We were
responsible for protecting the community we lived in and we did it
extremely well. So well, in fact, that they made is both Captains.
When we went to our first pow wow here, they had us come into grand
entry behind the veterans (Police, and EMT also). We were welcomed and
thanked along with them. We were very honored and then realized that we
were considered warriors too, although the general public had only come
to accept this after September 11, 2001.
I want you to remember all those firemen who risked and gave their
lives before 9~11 also. I don't mean to take away from the meaning of the
veterans from battles over seas, I just need people to realize that
there are warriors here...
...at home...
...fighting the everyday battles to protect the people
This is a picture of the engine we mostly responded on, when we were a part of the company. The Oceanville Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 was established in 1924. It is one of five companies that comprise the Galloway Township Fire Department.
The company is 100% volunteer, non-profit, and is on call 24/7/365. Our members are ALL UNPAID PROFESSIONALS and certified by the State of New Jersey. We do not receive any money for the many hours of serving you.
