Matthew Goldberg
Role: Firefighter / Secretary
•Years of Service:
1.5
•Current job title:
Electrical Project Manager
•Why did you join the department?
I've always loved fire trucks and firefighters as a kid. It was something I always thought of doing but never got the wheels moving. A friend who's on the department and I were talking and I decided to make the plunge. Glad I did because I love it and it's something I wish I've done sooner. It gives me a great sense of community, pride and the ability to know I'm a part of something bigger than my self. As well as meeting some great people along the way.
•Do you have a professional mentor?
Everyone, they all have great knowledge inside and outside of the department that I’m able to gain from.
•What are your accomplishments?
So far, finishing the academy. We're a fully volunteer department. We all have work, family and other things going on, and at the time of me going through it, I had a immense amount of pressure from all the above. I'm glad I stuck it out and pushed through.
•What are your interests outside of the department?
I enjoy bbq/smoking a variety of foods, camping and going to any live music events.
•What is your favorite thing about being a member?
It's cliche to say, but giving back, and putting out fires of course. It's a great family to be a part of.

The National Weather Service has issued Enhanced Threat for Fire Spread Today...
The combination of low humidity values, breezy conditions, and dry fine fuels will lead to an enhanced threat for fire spread mid to late afternoon later today across portions of SE Pennsylvania and central and southern New Jersey. Relative humidity values are forecast to drop to 15 to 25 percent, while winds will occasionally gust 20 to 25 mph at times through the mid to late

afternoon.

Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential ignition source, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses
and tree litter that ignites will have the potential to spread fire quickly. #njsffs ... See MoreSee Less
