Fire District Budget Election

 March 30, 2021

As we approach the upcoming fire district elections and budget approval, sometimes confusing or misleading things are said in the heat of the election. Therefore, we want to assure the community that we are a first-rate fire company responding to the needs of the community we have proudly served for over 50 years. In 2020, your volunteers responded to over 220 calls, with an average response time under 5 minutes, expending close to 1400 person hours of service ranging from burnt toast, house fires, motor vehicle accidents with entrapment, technical rescue, hazardous materials, mutual aid throughout the state, just to mention a couple. A lot goes into preparing to respond to whatever type of call we receive and we spend even more time maintaining our equipment and facilities, training as well as providing other types of community service.
The budget that we need to operate, supports our efforts to provide fire and rescue suppression services for those that reside, work or visit the township of Marlboro.
We, like volunteer fire companies across the nation, are finding it increasingly more difficult to recruit new members. Over the past year, we added 3 new, fully qualified members which is not enough to sustain us over the longer term with members leaving the company for college, relocating, etc. We want you to know that the Company is taking steps to address this. Unfortunately in 2020 and into 2021, it is increasingly more difficult than in the past. We would organize and/or attend many public events, but due to COVID-19 most if not all of those events were cancelled in 2020 and postponed in 2021. We are hoping to have National night out in August, Open House in October, Marlboro Day in September, just to name a couple. We have been trying to recruit members and successfully re-introduced our junior program in the late Fall. This program provides an opportunity to learn about the fire service and is open to anyone between the ages of 16 and 18. Juniors are permitted to respond to certain calls and perform limited activities, but again due to virtual learning, our in school recruitment drives have been suspended.  We  have had many of our long term members join in that capacity and many years later, continue to volunteer their time. The Company has also established a committee to come up with ideas for recruiting new members. Don’t be surprised to see an upcoming campaign. If you or someone you know would like to find out more, message us on this page.
Lastly, please come out and support the Fire District Budget on Tuesday April 20th between 2:00 and 9:00 pm. At our station Robertsville Volunteer Fire Co, #1,  94 Route 520, or send in your mail in ballot and say YES!!
 
Here is a quick breakdown on where the proposed budget would go, as it stands your assessment by $1 per 100,000 of assessed value. In other words, a home assessed at $500,000 will see an increase of ONLY $5.00
 
The largest expenses are Water Rental fees (Hydrant Maintenance and Standby water), Insurance/Debt Service, Firefighting Safety Equipment & supporting the Volunteer Training and Development. 
If you have any questions directly regarding the budget, please contact Board of Fire Commissioners District #2 Chair, Mike Rein, MRein@MTFD2.org
If you have any questions regarding volunteering, reach out to Robertsville Volunteer Fire Co. #1, Chief , Keith Badler , KBadler@RobertsvilleFire.org

Today marks the 15th anniversary of fallen firefighter Kevin Apuzzio.  One of our members Asher Kantor was fortunate enough to be bestowed the honor of receiving a scholarship in his name in 2020. Here is a little about Kevin. He was lost in the line of duty while searching for a missing occupant. We will never forget.  Kevin started his emergency services career at the age of 16, when most his age are more concerned with video games, Kevin chose to devote his free time helping his community of Union, NJ. He joined the Union Emergency Medical Unit and that started his passion for helping others. After Kevin graduated high school, he moved to New Brunswick and started his college education at Rutgers University studying Criminal Justice. While at Rutgers University he took a job as a per diem Emergency Medical Technician. Kevin then decided that he wanted to expand his knowledge of emergency services, so he joined the East Franklin Volunteer Fire Company in Somerset, NJ. Kevin went to fire school, where he obtained his Firefighter 1 certification. Kevin quickly made friends in the firehouse and went to as many fires as he could, to gain more experience. He even became part of a small group that would stay at the firehouse all night so that, if there were a call, an engine could be on the road as quickly as possible. In 2006, he was recognized for his efforts and was promoted to Foreman. Kevin also was a certified CPR instructor and enjoyed teaching people how they too could save lives. Kevin actively participated in anything that would benefit the community. Emergency Services was Kevin’s passion and one to which he devoted his life.  After college, Kevin's goal was to become a New York City police officer. He had already taken the exam and was awaiting the results of his test. Unfortunately, he died in the line of duty on April 11, 2006, while attempting to rescue a trapped resident from her burning home. Kevin’s test results arrived in the mail the same day that he died. He had achieved an almost perfect score on the written exam – a 99.6
