They are often heard and not seen. They are the calm voice on the other end of the phone for that person in distress. They are the lifeline on the other end of the radio for that First Responder. Our Dispatchers play a critical role in the day to day emergency response system. Thank you to all the Public Safety Telecommunicators. We want to especially thank Scott, Christine, Estefany, Rosalie, Jennifer, Mariam, Erin, Rose, Sarah, Salha and Luis for all the great work that you all do day in and day out!

**East Brunswick Police Officers Rescue Suicidal Individual from Farrington Lake**

On April 10th at approximately 6:14 AM, the East Brunswick Police Department received a call from an individual who stated, "Thank you for everything," and this was the last we would hear from them before the call disconnected.

Communications personnel were able to determine the individual’s location in the woods near the Farrington Lake dam in Bicentennial Park. Patrolmen Matthew Anderson, Dana Ferrero, George Kokinakos, Joe Whalen, Michael Miszkiewicz, and Jordan Bachman immediately responded and began searching for the individual who had entered Farrington Lake and was partially submerged.

Patrolman Kokinakos attempted to engage the individual in dialogue. However, they continued moving deeper into the water, submerging themselves up to their neck.

Recognizing the immediate danger posed by the freezing water temperatures, Patrolmen Miszkiewicz and Whalen entered the water, secured the individual, and waded in the water with them until water rescue resources arrived.

Patrolman David Methner, along with members of East Brunswick Brookview Volunteer Fire Company, responded with a rescue boat, brought the individual aboard, and transported them to awaiting Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) emergency medical personnel for further evaluation and transport to the hospital.

Due to their actions in entering the freezing water, Patrolmen Miszkiewicz and Whalen were also evaluated by emergency medical personnel for possible hypothermia.

Chief Frank LoSacco stated, “The officers demonstrated exceptional teamwork, a rapid response, and an unwavering commitment to preserving life. Their decisive actions under hazardous conditions directly contributed to the safe rescue of this individual. I would also like to commend our East Brunswick firefighters and RWJ EMS personnel for their assistance. This outcome would not be possible without our emergency response partners.”

This incident serves as a reminder that mental health crises are real, and help is always available. If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Reaching out to a loved one, a mental health professional, or a crisis line can make all the difference. Our community is strongest when we support one another and encourage those in need to seek help.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, support is available 24 hours a day through 988. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

What we do and who we are!

East Brunswick is divided into 3 Fire Districts. Old Bridge Volunteer Fire Department, Brookview Volunteer Fire Company & East Brunswick Independent Fire Company. Within the 3 districts lies one of the most important pieces to the fire service puzzle. Fire Prevention. This is a critical role in keeping East Brunswick safe. We enforce the fire code, conduct inspections, investigate fires, and educate the community, while also leading community risk reduction efforts to prevent emergencies before they happen. This helps make sure our residents, businesses and our firefighters who answer the call are safe.

So who are we?

East Brunswick Bureau of Fire Prevention is led by Fire Marshal Andrew Kahse with a team of 2 fire inspectors that serve all of Fire District 2.

East Brunswick Fire Marshals Office is led by one of the best in the game, Fire Marshal Jaysen Whalen with a team of 2 fire inspectors that serve Fire District’s 1 & 3.

Our two fire prevention offices in East Brunswick work closely together every day, combining efforts and expertise to accomplish the same mission: keeping our community safe through fire prevention.

“Safety starts with prevention, and prevention starts with us.”
