PENNINGTON FIRE COMPANY SANTA GIFT DROP OFF

This holiday season, Santa has asked Station 51 to help deliver gifts in our district. With so many children in the Pennington area, he desperately needs our assistance and of course, our members are up to the task. Please print and complete the form linked below and deliver it with the wrapped gift(s) to Santa’s workshop, located at the Pennington Fire Company (120 Broemel Place Pennington, NJ 08534). Santa will leave a labeled box, underneath the overhang, at the rear entrance, and his elves will collect the gift(s) promptly. Drop-off days will be December 12th, 13th, and 15th between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

 

Santa Gift Drop Form

 

Just after 1:30, a Hopewell Valley ALL-CALL was dispatched for a reported fully involved house fire just outside of Pennington Borough. DC-51 arrived first on the scene with Tower and Engine 51 not far behind. A first alarm was struck, second alarm tankers were requested, and operations were strictly defensive due to building integrity with heavy fire conditions. A total of 7 hand lines were placed in service along with the master stream off Tower 51. Additional 51 units including Rescue, Tanker, Utility, and SS were also on the scene. Investigations are being conducted. No reported injuries. 
Thank you to all mutual aid companies on the scene and covering township stations.

 

Thank you to everyone who came out to the station for our annual pancake breakfast. We greatly appreciate everyone who came out and showed their support for the company and allowed us to cook for you. It is always a pleasure for us to invite the community into the station and talk about what we do and show off our fleet and serve some good food. We hope to see you all next year!

We somberly announce the passing of past Asst. Chief and Engineer, Ted Warwick Jr.
A life member, a mentor to many, a man with a passion for the fire service, and a man always willing to lend a helping hand. Ted may no longer be driving around in the tanker doing pool fills or showing a new apparatus driver every dang bell and whistle on one of the fire apparatus, but he will always hold a special place in our hearts and within our department.
We love you, Ted and we thank you for your time, training, and service to the community.  Please see the information on the release below for funeral service details and information.
