On August 7th, the Island Heights Police Department and the Island Heights Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 went head-to-head in our Cops vs. Firemen annual game.

This wasn't about bragging rights , it was all to promote the Junior Firefighter Program and get the next generation involved in serving our town.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, to our police officers and fire volunteers who put on a great game, and to the kids who brought the energy.

If you want to learn more about the Junior Firefighter Program, reach out to the firehouse at 15 Lake Ave.

Come down and enjoy a great night of community fun at the field next to the firehouse. Game starts at 7:00pm, if you’d like to play in the game please arrive a little early to make sure you are added to a team. Food and drinks will also be available!
