***HAPPENING NOW***

At approximately 15:15 hours today, Freehold Fire Department (Station 15) & Freehold EMS were alerted to respond to a report of fire at a commercial property on Throckmorton Street.

Upon arrival of EMS units, additional Freehold EMS personnel and ambulances were requested to the scene as well as the implementation of incident rehab procedures.

Because fire suppression operations remain active, Freehold EMS personnel have staffed all four (4) available BLS units and an additional EMS supervisor ensuring we can handle not only this major incident but also any additional 911 emergency calls.

Please avoid the area as crews continue to work tonight.

A GREAT job to our hard working members and employees for the service they provide day in and day out!

In addition to doing a great job answering calls for service, on duty staff also took advantage of some rare downtime to clean up, repaint, and repair our display case downstairs where we have photos, antique medical and communications equipment used by Freehold members who paved the way for what we are today.

The day after Thanksgiving always brings thousands of shoppers into Freehold Township. To better serve you, we add additional crews and ambulances to make sure we can best protect all of our residents and visitors as they shop, eat and enjoy all the things our wonderful community has to offer. Our three duty crews (1557, 1559, 1561) were out answering calls during the day today and had a moment to pause for another quick photo at the hospital before returning to service.

In addition, we proudly supported the Freehold Area Running Club for their annual “Born to Run” 5k in downtown Freehold Borough. A 4th ambulance, 1558, was staffed and provided standby EMS support ensuring all participants had a safe and enjoyable morning.

It’s always a pleasure to serve the freeholdtwp and freeholdboro community!

***VICTORY AT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EMS***

We are incredibly proud to share that Freehold EMS Team #1 consisting of Deputy Chief Chiusano and EMT Stephanie Russ have been victorious in the 2025 SIM Competition at the National Conference on EMS!

This year was the first year that our members participated in the SIM Competition and we proudly sponsored two teams consisting of four volunteer members. Our teams trained for months under intense conditions, preparing themselves to enter this competition and give it their all!

We are incredible proud of Jayton, Rich, Joey, and Stephanie on their achievements with this endeavor. Both of our teams worked hard and dedicated themselves to performing at the highest levels.

But of course, they didn’t do it alone. They had the coaches who put in the work, time, and expertise in the SIM competition to guide them through the process. Those coaches were our very own Tiffany and Eric Sacks (who are definitely happy coaches this evening).

Congratulations to our Freehold EMS teams and all the teams who participated in this important competitions to showcase not only their skills but the skills of NJ EMS!

A special shoutout goes out to our neighbors in on President (and Ex-Chief) Michele Lewis on receiving the Directors Award from the NJ Department of Health! Michele has been instrumental in the training of many EMTs in the state including many Freehold EMS EMTs! Congratulations Michele!
