Millstone Township Fire Company

Millstone Township resident James Wiater is the author of The Adventures of Solo, The Big Dog book.  This is not your ordinary children’s book but a book of hope as all proceeds go towards purchasing K-9 Body Armor.  The Millstone Township Fire Company is a proud supporter of the Adventures of Solo.  Check it out, I bet your children will love the book, the pictures and know you will be helping to purchase K-9 Body Armor for a future dog.

Additionally, Jim has donated to the department the first Pet Oxygen Kit on March 4th.  We all know a pet becomes part of the family and is equally important during emergencies.  Check out the links below for a great book and a great cause.

Several times a year the department sharpens their extrication skills utilizing donated vehicles and under differing scenarios.  Drills encompass a wide variety of possibilities including school bus accidents, “big rig” challenges with 195 running through a portion of Millstone and motorcycle accidents.  Pictured below is one team assembled in one of firefighters donated vehicle.  Hard work and a little fun.  

On Tuesday November 22nd, the Millstone Township Fire Company conducted another extrication drill to further their skills with handling the many different tools that can be used while going through different scenarios.

 

Last night Millstone FF’s used Englishtown FD’s (12-1) door training prop to sharpen our skills in forcible entry techniques.  Many times we need to gain entry to commercial buildings on fire after hours or weekends. So specialized training props like this are especially helpful. Thanks to Englistown Chief Lou Sarti and his department for hosting us!
