BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, JUNE 15, 2015
Dominic Mazzio, 5, of Township, NJ visits with responders, who stopped by his birthday party with their cars and trucks. When Dominic was two, he was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, a rare disease in the spinal cord. After battling that condition for two years, and relearning most of his motor skills, he was diagnosed with inoperable of the brain stem. A condition unrelated to his first disease, according to doctors. “It was like getting struck by lightening twice” said his mother Ashley Mazzio. In November Dominic endured 30 days of proton radiation, a treatment that has momentarily stopped the growth of the tumor. He is scheduled for his next doctor’s visit in July. The hope is that no further growth of the tumor is found. Photo by Bryan Woolston/woolstonphoto

We are sponsoring our semi-annual Red Cross Blood Drive on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, in the Hall from 2 P.M. until 7 P.M. and we are looking forward to seeing all of our neighbors coming out.
In the past 7 years we have averaged 50 donors per drive and we're looking forward to your continued assistance. We are coming into the heavy vacation and travel time of the year and unfortunately there is an increase in accidents. As a result an increase in blood is needed and we are counting on your assistance to meet our goal of 45 units.
To schedule an appointment please contact Glen at (609) 668-4722. You are also welcome to walk in. Again, we truly appreciate all of the assistance everyone in the community provides us.
Thank you to the BTFD. Your dedication is noticed and appreciated!

A Special Veterans Day Message
As Veterans Day approaches the Burlington Township Fire Department honors the millions of Americans who have served our nation and defended its freedoms as members of the Armed Forces. This special day is also an ideal moment to say "Welcome home" to the thousands of servicemen and women who will be returning home in the near future.
Today and every day, the Burlington Township Fire Department salutes the very special men and women in our Armed Forces. We honor and give thanks for their courage and are grateful for the sacrifice they, and their families, make for our nation.
Planning ahead can help make this Halloween a fire-safe one. Taking simple fire safety precautions, like making sure fabrics for costumes and decorative materials are flame-resistant, can prevent fires. During the five-year-period of 2006-2010, NFPA estimates that decorations were the item first ignited in an estimated average of 1,000 reported home structure fires per year. These fires caused an estimated average of six civilian deaths, 53 civilian injuries and $16 million in direct property damage per year.

Don't forget to come visit us tonight for the annual Burlington Twp. Fire Department Open House! We're hosting this year's Open House at our station located at 1001 Beverly Rd. from 6-9pm! There will be plenty of activities and fun for the whole family! Vehicle Rescue demo, Fire Safety Tips, and Fire Truck Rides! We hope to see you there!
Great job to all the companies and agencies on location!
Last night at approximately 1130PM, Task Force 30, Task Force 90, Task Force 16, and RIC 232, and EMS from Station 909 were dispatched to Jardin Court in Bienvenue condos for a report of an apartment unit on fire. Engine 3022 responded with a crew of 6 within minutes, quickly followed by Engine 3023 with a crew of 5. Engine 3022 arrived on location to find an apartment in the middle of the row on fire with heavy fire through the roof. All companies were placed in service and the crew of Engine 3022 made a quick attack with an 1 3/4 inch line. Engine 3023 was only seconds behind and secured a hydrant to supply water to Engine 3022. Other crews from Burlington Twp and city, as well as Willingboro, were quickly on location to support in the fire attack and other duties. They deployed 2 more 1 3/4 inch handlines into the dwelling and laddered the building for emergency egress of firefighters. Together, the departments made a quick knock of the fire, preventing further damage to the adjacent units. Great job to all the companies and agencies on location!
We thank the BTFD for their dedication to the community. Another example of how community volunteers go above and beyond.

The Burlington Township Fire Dept. mourns the loss of Past Chief Ed Cook. This is a sad day for the fire department. The BTFD has lost a great mentor. Will miss him immensely and pray that his family feels the love and support from those who knew him and respected him.
This is a great article about a very real problem... Do your part, PULL TO THE RIGHT FOR SIRENS AND LIGHTS!
First responders are facing more and more delays when it comes to getting to the site of an emergency in time to save a life.
