Anglesea Volunteer Fire Company No.1

Yesterday afternoon, the volunteers of the Anglesea Fire Company participated in the annual City of North Wildwood Trunk and Treat event.

Thank you Battalion Chief, Frank Nolan and his wife Cheryl, and active member, Mike Kerr for handling the treats for the hundreds of attendees.

Our favorite costume was the French fry and seagulls. How fitting was that for our seashore town. Shout out to North Wildwood Recreation and Tourism team for another fantastic event.

This evening, the volunteers of the Anglesea Fire Company started their night by participating in the Wildwood High School homecoming parade.

The crew then reassembled at the station and headed to our world famous boardwalk for the evening’s drill.

Firefighter Sam Meyers started off explaining the equipment setup of our utility truck, which is equipped for boardwalk firefighting.

Captain Jim Munda walked through size-up considerations, forcible entry challenges as well as access. We reviewed water supply availability, as well as fire protection systems and fire department connections.

Battalion Chief, Frank Nolan reviewed the ongoing reconstruction of the boardwalk at 23rd & 24th avenues. The chief specifically explained the hazardous conditions for firefighters if an emergency occurs.

At the conclusion of the evening the brigade was treated to some fantastic and delicious sandwiches from our friends and neighbors La Siciliana By Dolce Italia.

Please read this important public safety announcement.

Last week our island suffered severe flooding, while not unusual, it was damaging on many levels.

We ask that you read the attached announcements from our county’s Fire Marshal. We also caution you to have anything electrical that was subject to flood or rain waters checked immediately. This includes any appliances, as well as electrical circuit breaker or fuse boxes and circuits. Many of these may not show immediate deterioration, but can break down over time and cause fires. If you have affected appliances or electrical systems, get them inspected by qualified technicians as soon as possible.

This Sunday starts the 2026 fire prevention week, and this information is important to join in this year’s theme, that speaks to charging of batteries.

It has been extremely busy for the Anglesea Volunteer Fire Company members these past 4 days.

This was the 51st straight year that the Five Mile Beach Firemen’s Association has hosted the NJ State Firemen’s Convention and Memorial Parade, along with the New Jersey Fire Expo.

There is a lot of behind the scenes that goes on to put this together. This past week and weekend had our volunteers, delivering a special edition fire newspaper to our businesses. On Wednesday, we set up tent areas at Fox Park for the convention souvenirs and beverage area. All day Friday and Saturday, our folks man the souvenir tent. We also have members register parade participants, pass out participation plaques, as well hosting the judging team at our station.

When it’s all done we work the other companies to break down the expo area, clean up and get back to duty.

It’s a long week, but it is great to see the many firefighters come to town and enjoy our beaches, boardwalk, restaurants and and other establishments.

Until next year, thank you all for your continued support.

25 years ago our country was attacked. Innocent lives were taken and families torn. Our country endured, we mourned, we learned, we loved and we rebuilt.

There are many among us in the United States that weren’t even born when this happened. It is imperative that none of us ever forget, the lives stolen from us, the heroic efforts that saved thousands more and the enduring spirit to heal a wounded nation.

We must NEVER forget!
