Our Hearts go out to Communicator Bartell’s family and Co-Workers. Dispatchers are the life line for first responders and the community answering the calls for help.

It is with a heavy heart that we sadly announce the untimely passing of one of our own, Candis Bartell. Candis had been a Communications Officer with our agency since 2019. Previously she served with the Pleasantville Police Department's Communications Center. The void left behind by her passing is palpable for all that got to know, adore, and work alongside her. Candis was sweet, caring, and full of moxie. Candis proudly dedicated her heart and soul to the citizens of Egg Harbor Township, Pleasantville, Northfield, Linwood, Longport, and Somers Point, whether she was on or off duty. Candis will be deeply missed, but her compassion and benevolence will carry on through her co-workers, family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Candis Bartell, Communications Officer 15991, we thank you for your honorable service, may you rest in peace.

Engine 67 visited Purple Crayon Early Learning Center today for a fire safety demonstration with one of our member's child's class.

Throughout the year, our members participate in many school and community demonstrations, teaching children about fire safety and helping them become more comfortable around firefighters and fire apparatus. Today was especially meaningful, as we had the opportunity to share that experience with one of our own member's child and classmates.

Thank you to the students and staff at Purple Crayon Early Learning Center for the warm welcome. We always enjoy spending time with our community and helping the next generation learn about fire safety.

Members will be out today for our annual Coin Drop at the Five Points intersection.

Throughout the year, our members participate in several fundraisers to help keep the company operating. Donations help support station maintenance and upkeep, utilities, training and training center improvements, uniforms, our annual Fourth of July complimentary hot dog giveaway, and many other expenses associated with operating a volunteer fire company.

If you're traveling through the intersection, we hope you'll consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter the amount, directly supports the Northfield Volunteer Fire Company and helps us continue serving and protecting our community.

As always, please drive carefully through the intersection, watch for our members, and follow their directions. We sincerely appreciate your continued generosity and support.

It was our honor to have Chief Cummings lead this year's Fourth of July Parade in Car 60, returning to Station #2 where our members grilled up hundreds of complimentary all-beef hot dogs, distributed hundreds of bottles of water, and welcomed the Northfield Mothers League as they led the ice pop brigade.

This year's parade was especially meaningful as we celebrated 250 years of American independence. We thank all of our members whose dedication and service make events like today's celebration—and the protection of our community every day—possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to seeing you all next year for our 251st Fourth of July celebration!
