Please make sure your pets are kept inside!!!
Cats and dogs should be kept inside during cold weather.
It's a common belief that dogs and cats are more resistant than people to cold weather because of their fur, but it's untrue. Like people, cats and dogs are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia and should be kept inside.

Please see the flyer on E-Bike and E-Scooter Safety. There has been an increase in the number of fires involving these types of devices.

BTPD releases details of fuel spill at Petro Truck Stop.
On December 13th 2022 at approximately 7:40 PM the Bordentown Township Police Department was detailed to 402 Rising Sun Road (Petro Truck Stop) for a report of a motor vehicle collision involving a vehicle leaking fluids. Upon arrival the responding officers learned that a 1987 tanker trailer sustained a puncture to portion of it's tank as a result of a collision with a parked tractor trailer. Upon speaking with the driver identified as Michael Roberts, he advised that his bill of lading paperwork indicated that he was transporting 7,500 gallons of “JET A” fuel.
The Derby Fire Department Station 322 was detailed to the scene. Upon their arrival they established a command post for the hazmat incident and established a perimeter around the spill area. All trucks and pedestrians were evacuated from the perimeter area to a safe location.
The Burlington County Hazmat Team, Burlington County Health Department, New Jersey DEP, The Joint Base Hazmat Team and Burlington County Office of Emergency Management were contacted to respond to the scene. The Bordentown EMS was also staged at the scene to treat any potential injuries and the New Jersey State Police responded and assisted with evacuating trucks.
The scene was secured and The Joint Base Hazmat Team was able to stop the leak and prevented additional fuel from leaking. The Petro Truck Stop contracted First Call Environmental Inc. and they responded to the scene to clean up the Hazmat spill. There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident and the involved vehicles were able to be driven from the scene.
Roberts is a 60 year old male employed as a driver by Williams Enterprise LLC. Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The cleanup is still in progress and the exact amount of fuel has not yet been determined. It is estimated that approximately half of the fuel being transported was spilled prior to stopping the leak.

Santa has begun visiting Fire District #1!!!!!!!
Santa Is beginning his route through Fire District 1!
Photos from training conducted over the last couple months. Firefighters worked on honing their search and rescue techniques in an acquired structure. The masks were covered, making them use the other senses, and maintain awareness to their location. In the other training the members practiced the Denver Drill, which is designed to rescue a downed firefighter. The members practiced different techniques for lifting and removing the firefighter, as no two situations are the same.
Photos from our Annual Golf Tournament that was held on October 13th. We would like to thank all the sponsors, golfers, and members who make this event possible and a success. A photo album was created so all the pictures can be viewed.
November 11-17 is National Traffic Incident Response Week, we would like to remind everyone that when approaching an emergency scene, law enforcement, towing, or utility vehicle please Move Over and Slow Down. Everyone must do their part to ensure we all are safe.

Mission Fire Company visited Over The Rainbow, Sai Montessori School, and Youngster's University to teach the children fire safety. The firemen went over smoke detectors, stay low and go, having a meeting place, and stop drop and roll. The children also helped a firemen properly put on their gear and air pack, then they were able to dress up in children's fire gear. The visits ended with a tour of the fire truck and a group photo. Everyone enjoyed the visit, and thank you again for allowing us to pass on some fire safety!
Several members of Mission Fire Company attended and completed the Rope I class at the Camden County Fire Academy. The class teaches the basics of rope rescue, and provides the foundation to build upon with the advanced rope rescue classes.

The other crews had to communicate responding, arriving, and confirm any orders that were given to them using a portable radio.

Kenneth Applegate on this day in 1971 gave his life in the line of duty. Let us not never forget.
Can someone tell me when santa will be around in Bordentown township?
In Memory of Assistant Chief Kenneth Applegate - Killed in Line of Duty on this day, September 1971.
Big shout out to the Firefighters, EMT’s & other emergency personal who came out and took care of TJ’s Grandmom, our mother when she was in need of emergency transport. You guys & girls are awesome. Our family felt the love with your response. Thank you so much.
I ask the Mission Fire Company if there could be a moment of silence and the Flag flown at half mast tomorrow in honor of my Brother Ken , Assistance Chief who was killed in a house fire on September 19th 1971. Thank You. Steve Applegate

Asst. Chief Kenneth Applegate - Age 24 - Mission Fire Co.
While operating an interior line at an early-morning dwelling fire, he was killed when an explosion occurred. His body was later found floating in the water-filled basement. An autopsy revealed that he had suffered third-degree burns and had died of suffocation. The explosion was believed to have been the result of a natural gas leak.
