🚨Have you been wondering why our firehouse siren hasn't been sounding for fire calls?🚒

During this past winter's blizzard, our firehouse siren was damaged beyond repair. After 32 years of dependable service, it was time for a replacement.

We're happy to announce that our new firehouse siren has finally arrived! Tonight, members of the Town Bank Volunteer Fire Company came together to remove the old siren and install the new one. In what seemed like perfect timing, just a few minutes after completing the installation, we were dispatched to a fire call-and the new siren came to life.

The station sirens heard throughout Lower Township are an important part of alerting our volunteer firefighters to emergencies while also notifying the public that emergency responders are being dispatched. Although technology has advanced with pagers and mobile alerts, the station siren continues to play an important role in helping ensure our volunteers respond as quickly as possible.

As always, the Officers and Members of the Town Bank Volunteer Fire Company would like to thank you for your unwavering continued support. It is an honor to serve this community, and our volunteers stand ready to answer the call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year,

🚨When the siren sounds, your volunteers are responding.🚒

Last evening, the members of the Town Bank Volunteer Fire Company, along with mutual aid companies from Erma, Villas, and Rio Grande Fire Company as the Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC), were dispatched to the 600 block of Town Bank Road for a reported residential structure fire.
While responding, fire personnel were advised of possible entrapment within the dwelling. Assistant Chief 61 arrived first on scene and reported heavy smoke and fire showing, along with an updated report of multiple occupants still inside the residence.
Engine 61 arrived shortly after and crews immediately initiated an aggressive interior attack on the bulk of the fire while additional crews conducted primary and secondary searches along with ventilation operations. During the primary search, the structure was reported all clear and all occupants were confirmed safely out of the building.
Due to the reported entrapment and heavy fire conditions, a 2nd Alarm was struck bringing additional manpower to the scene from the Cape May City Fire Department and Green Creek Fire Company. West Cape May Fire Company provided township coverage during the incident. The Cape May County Fire Coordinator also responded to the scene.
Fire crews operated on scene for approximately 31/2 hours before clearing and returning to service.
The fire is currently under investigation by the Cape May County Fire Marshal's Office along with the Lower Township Bureau of Fire Safety.

Units responding included:

1st Alarm:
Town Bank
Erma
Villas
Rio Grande (RIC)
MYAC Rehab

2nd Alarm:

Cape May City
Green Creek
West Cape May
CMC Fire Coordinator

All companies did an outstanding job and worked together seamlessly during the incident. We would like to thank all mutual aid companies and agencies that responded to assist.

Members are always wanted. If you are interested in serving your community, stop by your local township fire company, speak with the men and women who volunteer their time, and pick up an application!

We’re incredibly grateful to Harpoons on the Bay for turning a difficult moment into something positive for our community.

After last week’s fire, Jeff & Brady didn’t hesitate to give back and support our volunteer fire company — and that means a lot to all of us.

This Saturday, a portion of their food and drink sales will be donated to Town Bank Volunteer Fire Co.

If you’re able, stop by, grab a bite or a drink, and help support a local business that supports its first responders. 🚒

Community supporting community at its best.

Hello HarpoonsNation —
Over the past few days, we’ve had a lot of time to reflect on how fortunate we were when a fire broke out behind our beloved Tiki Bar last week.
When it happened, the Town Bank Volunteer Fire Company — just a few blocks from us — was on scene within minutes and contained it before it had a chance to spread.
At the same time, we had incredible support from surrounding departments — Villas, Erma, Rio Grande, and Cape May City — all there and ready in case things escalated. That kind of response reminds you what community really means.
Now it’s our turn to show up and give back to our hometown fire company.
This Saturday, May 9, we’ll be supporting the Town Bank Volunteer Fire Company. Details below.
We hope you’ll come out and be part of it.
Brady & Jeff

Early this morning at 2:56am, Townbank firefighters were dispatched for a report of smoke in the area of 91 Beach Drive in North Cape May. Upon arrival of Chief 61, a detached “out building” was found to be fully involved and rapidly spreading to the adjacent tiki bar. A working fire box was transmitted bringing in additional units from Erma, Villas, Cape May, and Rio Grande Fire companies along with the Lower Township Fire Official and the Cape May County Fire Marshall’s Office. First arriving units contained the fire to the building or origin with minor extension to the tiki bar. Crews extinguished the fire and overhauled the scene for approximately 3 hours. The fire is being investigated by the Lower Township Bureau of Fire Safety in conjunction with the Cape May County Fire Marshall’s Office and Lower Township Police Department.
