🔥IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT🔥

At the March 2023 Meeting of the Plainsboro Board of Fire Commissioners, resolutions were passed to increase the strength of our fire department by adding three additional full time firefighters.

The board resolved to the following personnel changes;

▪️Captain Matthew Collins is promoted to Chief of Department effective 3 April 2023

▪️Firefighter Doug Vorp is promoted to Captain effective 3 April 2023

The following are appointed to the position of Full time Firefighter 20 March 2023;

▪️Nikolas Vujosevic
▪️Kyle Reid
▪️Ryan Naclerio

These changes will increase overnight staffing from 2 members to 3. Allowing for immediate responses.

Plainsboro township is facing the same challenges the nation has felt with the overall decline in volunteer firefighters. The hiring of additional firefighters will help strengthen the fire department, allowing it to continue to operate as a combination career/volunteer organization.

We will provide further details in future postings.

Please join us in our appreciation of the Board in their diligence addressing this crucial matter and also in congratulating our members for their accomplishments.

To commemorate International Women’s Day & Women’s History Month, the PFANJ would like to recognize Pleasantville Firefighter Kristen Cortes. Firefighter Cortes was in Washington DC this week along with other PFANJ members lobbying on Capitol Hill to urge members of Congress to support legislation to benefit firefighters. Well done!

PFANJ firefighters from all over New Jersey are in Washington DC this week for the International Association of Fire Fighters Legislative Conference. PFANJ members ascend on Capitol Hill to meet with our New Jersey Representatives and Senators to discuss our legislative priorities, and ask for their involvement to help get these important issues passed into law.

The PFANJ is proud of the overwhelming support our members of Congress have shown presently, and in the past to support PFANJ firefighters. This year, two of our primary legislative initiatives have New Jersey Representatives as the prime sponsor. Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. is the prime sponsor of the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act (Honor Act), which will make significant improvements to the PSOB benefit, namely by including occupational cancer deaths. Also Congressman Jeff Van Drew is the prime sponsor of the Public Safety Free Speech Act, which will provide protections for workers who speak freely about their jobs and prevent retaliation.

See the full list of legislative priorities here:

Thank you to all the PFANJ members who made the trip to DC to make real change and better the fire and EMS service across New Jersey and America.

Good afternoon,

We apologize for the delay as we were waiting for certification from the Camden County Board of Elections and understood many of you were waiting for the results. The referendum passed and we want to show our appreciation to everyone who exercised their right to vote.

We especially want to thank those who supported this referendum and understood the need. While this request contained funds for various programs, the staffing portion will be determined by the current N.J. Civil Service process underway.

Thank you

Of the calls for service on 08Feb23 was a dwelling fire in the Sicklerville section of Winslow Township. Crews arrived to find significant fire conditions that had started from one dwelling and extended into an attached dwelling.

Multiple fire suppression handlines were deployed and an aggressive interior fire attack along with searches for potential victims was initiated. The forward progress of the fire was stopped and no other dwellings were threatened. The fire was placed under control and there were no reported injuries.

Unfortunately three families were displaced from this incident and we are working with the American Red Cross to provide assistance. We would like to thank our Firefighters, Winslow Township Police Department, Winslow Township Emergency Medical Service and our mutual aide fire partners for their work. The fire is currently being investigated by the Winslow Township Fire Marshal’s Office.

WHO WE ARE

The Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey was originally established and chartered as a State Association by the International Association of Fire Fighters on October 29, 1929. It was called the Uniformed Firemen’s Association of New Jersey, and included charter locals Newark Local 71, Carteret Local 292, Perth Amboy Local 286, Woodbridge Local 290, and Rahway Local 295. A short time later, the union’s delegates saw fit to change the association’s name to Fire Fighters Association of New Jersey, and it operated as such for more than 30 years. Delegates to the 1996 convention, however, were concerned that there be no misunderstanding of the union’s calling and mission. They moved by resolution to change the name of the organization to the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey.

Today, the PFANJ often referred to as the IAFF. The IAFF exists on three planes: our parent IAFF headquartered in Washington, DC; the IAFF State Association, the PFANJ, headquartered in Trenton; and our local affiliate unions spread across New Jersey. These organizations are designed to allow information to flow back and forth for the benefit of all members.

Since 1929, the PFANJ has grown to upwards of seventy local unions of varying size and complexity, representing over half of New Jersey’s approximately 6,000 professional firefighters. In addition, the PFANJ represents more than 500 EMS professionals who are members of PEMSA (Professional Emergency Medical Services Association) IAFF Local 4610. In all but a few cases, PFANJ/IAFF affiliates are the recognized bargaining agent responsible for terms and conditions of employment in their respective venues, regardless of any other affiliation.

Our local affiliates range from small fire districts, to full time round-the-clock suburban fire and rescue agencies, to the state’s largest and busiest urban fire departments.

Please share this information!!! Copy/paste to everyone!!!

This is pretty new technology, so stay calm.
If your kids already got their shots, know that you are good parents who are doing the best you can with the information you have available...

...So don’t freak out if your kids already got vaccinated, because it may not be till the ***COVID-19 VACCINE***...but from now on... Please be aware of this possibility before you let a needle get near them from now on. I’m sending this as soon as I figured it out...

Please breathe, remember GOD is LOVE & is in control, & y’all are great parents!

I love you.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST CAN NOW BE HIDDEN IN A VACCINE!!!

WE MAY HAVE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS!!!

*If you already have it...see “HOPE OF SALVATION” link at bottom, but if you do not yet have it, REFUSE IT AT ANY COST! the risk is great & causes great suffering!

A MESSAGE TO THE WARRIOR BRIDE OF CHRIST:
The beast, It’s mark, it’s number 666, & it’s plans! -It is not likely what you think, but I believe I can prove it! Please review this information, pray, & warn absolutely as many of our brethren as you can! Time is of the essence...we may have less than 2 MONTHS!!!!!
Keep your lamps lit & have plenty of oil!

IF OUR BRAINS CONTROL OUR BODIES WITH ELECTRICAL IMPULSES, ALL A CHIP WOULD NEED IS A TRANSCEIVER & TRANSDUCER (SIMPLE RFID CHIP) & IT COULD ACHIEVE CONTROL INDESCRIBABLE FROM YOUR OWN THINKING! ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED TO RESTORE MOVEMENT & FUNCTION TO PARALYTICS, THEY SOON DISCOVERED IT DID MUCH MORE! DARPA STEPPED IN & NOW WE ARE POSSIBLY HEADING QUICKLY TOWARDS THE LAST DAYS!
A NERVOUS SYSTEM INTERFACE CAN NOW BE HIDDEN IN VACCINES! IN ADDITION TO ABORTED FETAL TISSUE, POISONS, CARCINOGENS, POTENTIAL LATENT UNDESIRED PATHOGENS, OR EVEN UNTESTED NEW SCIENCE WHICH WOULD INTENTIONALLY ALTER OUR GENETIC CODE (LIKE GMO’S)
***DARPA’S: HYDROGEL CAN BE INJECTED IN LIQUID FORM! IT CONTAINS LINKED NANOPARTICLES WHICH SPREAD OUT IN THE BODY LIKE A SPONGE, FORMING A DEVICE WHICH CAN ALSO RECEIVE A SIGNAL & CONVERT IT TO AN ELECTRICAL IMPULSE INDECIPHERABLE FROM OUR OWN THINKING, SECURING CONTROL.
THIS IS A FURTHER INNOVATION ON ID2020’s PUSH FOR DIGITAL CERTIFICATES WORLDWIDE CONNECTED TO COVID-19 & POTENTIALLY OTHER MANDATORY VACCINATIONS! IT IS CONNECTED TO PATENT#060606! THIS IS THE BIBLICAL: MARK OF THE BEAST! IT CAN ACTUALLY EXERT CONTROL! VACCINATIONS=SLAVERY!!!

If the vaccine works, & I refuse it...I pose no risk to anyone who took it! How can they force me if by refusing I shoulder the only risk?

If we allow everyone to get implanted without a fight, it could be the end of human rights, freedom, possessions, & paychecks. It could be the beginning of great suffering which we would be unable to voice! Food shortages may only be the beginning. Our very way of life is at stake! There is a reason & plan behind the fact that all of Earth’s economies worldwide are being hurled into unbelievable debt faster than almost anyone imagined possible.
PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AWAY!
Please do not let any personal fears overshadow your concern for your those you LOVE! We must stand together!

Hello All,

Recently, a student reached out to me stating that she is currently pursing a research project. Her project is about sleep difficulties among firefighters in NY/NJ/CT. This caught my interest because it is a topic that I often wonder about. I am going to attach the link to the survey so hopefully we can get some good data for her. She said she is mainly looking for career firefighters to participate. There is more information about her project on the survey if you click the link.

All,
Thirteen EMS providers from around the state have died from complications of COVID-19 since March 31, according to the New Jersey EMS Task Force and multiple EMS squads. And hundreds of other EMS workers have fallen sick with COVID-19 symptoms in recent weeks, causing a strain on rescue units, nearly a dozen members of the emergency response community told NJ Advance Media. The number of coronavirus cases within their ranks - and concern for older volunteers with underlying medical conditions - have led to staff shortages, forcing some squads to temporarily drop service...

EMS RELATED VINTAGE VIDEO:
Under the subject of "I'll bet you didn't know"...here is a fascinating 4 minute video that tells the story of how EMS "get serious" in Pittsburgh, PA.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUA0E3KYgA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi-qt6fyAKU&feature=emb_title

As recently as 50 years ago, ambulances were more like taxis to get to the nearest hospital. That all changed thanks to an ambulance crew recruited from a poverty-stricken black neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that operated between 1967 and 1975. They became the very first ambulance workers in the U.S. trained in advanced life support, setting the bar for generations of emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
