Hello and Happy Spring!
From all of us at the Audubon Park Fire Company. We would just like to inform you that once again we only has 15 emergency calls since January 2009. You may think this was a lot of calls. We think it's GOOD, compared to other fire departments. We attribute this to your diligence in keeping your homes safe. Obviously each and every one of you practices good fire prevention techniques. Keep up the good work!
We would like to congradulate Andy and Dan Galiano - these two have completed the Jr. Fire Fighting program at the Camden County Fire Academy. Within that year, one of our fire fighters successfully completed the New Jersey Fire Fighters 1 Course. Congratulations to SCOTT YOUNG!!! We would like to welcome our newest member - Mike Brunick who will soon be starting the Fire Fighters 1 Course. Good luck Mike. Also, we would like to welcome our newest Jr. Firefighter to our program, Tom Przybsewski. We have many hours of training. You should be proud that these individuals take their valuable time to become one of the elite. Their dedication to the residents of Audubon Park is more than you will know.
Dedication to the community is a required trait in order for any community to survive. We desperately need men and women who are willing to protect their community. You can make a difference! Many contract holders will read this and forget about their sons and daughters. Ask them if they are willing to help their community. The state requires you to be at least 18 years of age, physically and mentally fit. We also have a Jr. Firefighter program that children at the age of 14 may become a member and will learn from State Certified Firefighters within our department to become a firefighter and at age 16 they may be eligible to attend the Jr. Fire Fighter program at Camden County Fire Academy. This program will give them the knowledge of what they need to know for when they enter the Firefighter 1 program. We need you to make the commitment to your community and become a fire fighter.
Please stop by the Community Hall each Thursday night when we have BINGO and ask to speak to one of the officers, or contact the office. We look forward to meeting you.
Some Tips to stay safe:
Make sure to CHANGE THE BATTERIES in your smoke detector.
CHANGE THE AIR FILTER in your heaters MONTHLY and while you are at it - VACCUM the dirt that accumulates in it yearly.
Every home also should have a CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR in it. With our heaters always on, the detector could save your life!
Whenever you have an emergency - DO NOT HESITATE to call 911. It starts help coming immediately and the 911 operators will help you by phone to get a handle on the situation. If the emergency is a fire, get out of the building and call 911 from a safe distance.
DO NOT RE-ENTER THE BUILDING.
