Today, we were proud to support our neighbors at Manalapan High School who hosted a cheerleading competition consisting of 16 different teams. BLS 1558 with four volunteer members provided EMS standby services during the event.

We sincerely appreciate the invitation to support this event and are proud to be a part of not just our community but others who may welcome us.

***COMMUNITY OUTREACH***

This past weekend was a BUSY one for your Freehold EMS members!

Thursday, members attended the grand opening of Freehold Township’s newest Wawa located at W. Main Street and Siloam Road.

Saturday, we proudly participated in the annual Santa Run event in Freehold Township with our friends at Freehold Township Ind. Fire Company #1 & East Freehold Fire Company. We had a blast helping bring Santa around to our wonderful community! Simultaneously on duty personnel, off duty members and a hungry community attended a Freehold EMS fundraiser graciously hosted by Tatchens for the second time this year. Mike, the owner of Tatchens, has been a unbelievable supporter of Freehold EMS and we deeply appreciate all of his efforts. Tatchens is located in 3333 US 9 in Chadwick Square, go check him out!

Sunday, members geared up for night 2 of the Santa Run with our friends with the Freehold Fire Department (Station 15) and had a blast helping bring Santa to our residents in Freehold Borough.

Bringing Santa through the borough and township has typically been a fire department tradition so this was the first year Freehold EMS participated in this wonderful community event. We sincerely thank our three Freehold fire companies for allowing us to participate in the fun this year and for your generous hospitality. We are looking forward to participating in this event again together!

Finally, today Freehold EMS members, our friends with the Centra State Emergency Department, Atlantic Mobile Health, Tom’s River Fire Department, Tom’s River PD, and PBA teamed up to share some holiday joy for a very special CSMC ER nurse who has been courageously battling cancer for the last year and her children.

In addition to all of these activities (Thursday-Monday) Freehold EMS has answered over 100 calls for service not only in our community, but have also provided mutual aid to surrounding communities.

***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.
