It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the East Dover Fire Company announces the unexpected passing of Brother and Life Member, George Convery Sr.

George was a dedicated member who spent nearly 40 years protecting and serving the residents of Toms River. In that time, he also served as Fire Commissioner for Toms River Fire District #1 for 30 years. His commitment to the safety of our community, along with his dedication to his fellow firefighters, left an indelible mark on our company.

George was a lifelong Toms River resident. His deep desire to serve led him to enlist in the United States Navy. After his years of service, he was honorably discharged and returned home. Still eager to give back, he took on a new role in his community by joining the East Dover Fire Company.

We extend our deepest sympathies, thoughts, and prayers to George’s wife, family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

We have lost a friend, a dedicated public servant, and a beloved brother.

Arrangements will be shared once they become available.

Rest easy, George. We will take it from here.

Behind every first responder who answers the call is a mother who helped instill that spirit of service and selflessness.

​Today, the East Dover Fire Company wants to say THANK YOU to all the mothers in our community. Your love and guidance have helped shape the dedicated members of our department.

​We especially want to recognize the mothers and wives of our members who support us from home, and the incredible women in our own ranks who balance being a firefighter and a mom.

​Wishing all mothers a safe, happy, and wonderful Mother’s Day!

Today, May 4th, we join fire departments around the world in observing International Firefighters' Day. This is a day to honor the incredible dedication, bravery, and sacrifice of firefighters everywhere. We also remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

As Chief Edward F. Croker-Ret. from the FDNY so eloquently stated, “I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a firefighter. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which firefighters have to do believe that it is a noble calling."

Here, our own dedicated members embody this noble calling every single day. They stand ready, 24/7, to answer the call, protect their neighbors, and safeguard our community. Their commitment goes above and beyond, and we are immensely proud of their courage and selflessness.

As it is written, "Greater love hath no one than this, that one would give their life for their friends." This sentiment resonates deeply within the spirit of firefighting.

Join us today in saying thank you to all firefighters, both here in Toms River and across the globe, for their unwavering commitment and sacrifice.

Every year, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation hosts the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburgh Maryland. During this weekend firefighters and families from across the nation gather and remember the sacrifice of America’s fallen fire heroes.

This year the weekend falls on May 1st through the 3rd. During this time the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation invites landmarks, fire departments, community organizations, businesses, and homes across the nation to light up red from May 2nd through the annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service which will take place Sunday May 4th, 2025.

This year's memorial service will honor 97 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty in 2025 and 107 firefighters who died in previous years. Each firefighter’s name will be inscribed on a bronze plaque and become a permanent part of the National Memorial in honor of their sacrifices.
