Taunton Fire Company Serving Medford Township Since 1949. A war surplus Jeep provided the first protection for the company, and the organization’s charter was formalized in 1949.

After World War II, the population of our township again grew rapidly with new families settling into homes built along the edge of the pinelands and pine barrens south of the village area. In 1946, a group of residents south of Tuckerton Road organized as the Lakes Volunteer Fire Company (now Taunton Fire Company) to support and respond alongside Union Fire Company in the areas south and distant from the historic area in the center of town. In 1973, Taunton Fire Company rebuilt their original firehouse into an expanded building that could house additional apparatus and within five years the Lakes Emergency Squad (now Medford EMS) as well. Taunton Fire Company has continued to grow and relocated from the Fairview Road station to a building on Gravelly Hollow Road to provide room for their expanding membership.

Medford Fire Department responded to the Cranberry Pines School today initially for a fire alarm system call. Upon arrival, Deputy Chief Hoffman reported smoke coming from the rear of the building. Students and staff had already been evacuated upon our arrival. Additional units from Medford EMS, Medford PD, Evesham Fire, & Medford Lakes Fire were added to the upgraded building fire response. Crews located the source from a generator in the mechanical room and quickly ventilated that room. Students and faculty were quickly returned to the school.

The Department also answered calls today for interior fumes in Southampton, an alarm system call at YMCA in The Pines, and a cardiac arrest call.

Happy 82nd birthday Smokey Bear! Smokey is celebrating his birthday today by flying low along the Jersey Shore aboard a New Jersey Forest Fire Service helicopter, waving to beachgoers from Cape May to Asbury Park, with special flyovers of Atsion Lake in Wharton State Forest and Lake Nummy in Belleplain State Forest.

Commemorative Smokey Bear beach badges will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for visitors of Atsion Recreation Area (Wharton State Forest), Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, Belleplain State Forest, Corson’s Inlet State Park, Island Beach State Park and the Ocean City Music Pier.

The flight is scheduled to begin over Cape May at approximately 1 p.m. and travel north along the coast, ending in Asbury Park around 3:30 p.m. Earlier in the day, Smokey will fly over Atsion Lake in Wharton State Forest at approximately 11 a.m. and Lake Nummy in Belleplain State Forest at approximately 11:45 a.m.

A banner plane displaying a "Happy Birthday, Smokey Bear" message will lead the flight.

The birthday flight is made possible through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service.

For nearly a century, Smokey Bear has inspired generations of Americans to help prevent wildfires with his timeless message: “Only you can prevent wildfires.”

Looking forward to seeing everybody at Medford Township Police Department NNO tomorrow evening!

Happy August!! While some areas in New Jersey have recently received substantial amounts of rain, not so much here in Medford. We’ve only received .38” in the last week here. We are currently in a moderate drought status (see map below). As always, with us being in a Wildland/Urban interface area, everyone should remain wildfire conscious! Clearing dead timber and brush on your property is very important to do in this area.

The 2nd mailing of our 2026 annual fund drive should be in the mail later in the month. We thank everyone who has contributed to us so far this year, so you should not receive the 2nd mailing.
