This evening we were requested to assist the Monmouth County SPCA with opening up a storm drain to retrieve seven ducklings that fell through the grate. Upon arrival the grate was opened and the SPCA Officer used a duck call to gather the ducklings into a net.
If interested in doing jobs like this, stop by for an application, we would love to have you.

My daughter and I watched this in action last night; thank you for rescuing them! And for the bystander for calling in for help!!
Thank you all so much. My sister and I called Howell PD about them and amazed how all sprang into action. It was also so nice of Mike from SPCA who called us to let us know they were rescued! Great job!
Good work everyone
Thank you so much for your kindness 🤗
Great work guys. Xoxo

Great job guys
This evening members of the department attended the Class 129, and Class 130 Firefighter 1/2 Graduation at Brookdale College. Our member Ryan Perillo graduated as a member of Class 129. This training consisted of 250 hours at the Monmouth County Fire Academy. These classes were unique as a global pandemic was occurring during their training. Stay safe out there Ryan, and welcome to the family!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations Ryan!!
Today the department gathered for our annual Memorial Day services where we pause and take time to honor our deceased members. After our services concluded we participated in the annual Memorial Day Parade in Farmingdale. We pause and remember not only our deceased members but also the fallen soldiers that fought for our freedoms and still fight for them.
God bless all the members of the department, and remember the deceased members too. Glad the tradition of the memorial service continues from when I was chief. Stay safe!
Thank you for your departments continued recognition and rememberance of the many dedicated volunteers like my father Kenneth Daly, former Chief, commissioner & 30 plus year member of Ramtown Howell F.D. and all others who are no longer with us. I clearly remember my dad stating on multiple occasions how he felt Southard F.D. was a "class act and a great bunch of guys" and I'm pleased to witness how Southard F.D. continues to maintain it's fine reputation and rich traditions that it has cultivated over the years. Gentleman, I salute you all and send my heartfelt respect and admiration. Thank you for your selfless service and may God Bless! 🚒👨🚒
Earlier this evening the Southard Fire Dept was dispatched to a car fire on Starlight Road in the Oak Glen Development. Upon arrival, Chief 19-3-66 located a working car fire. Engine 19-3-77 responded in and extinguished the fire with Rescue 19-3-86 responding in for support. Units cleared after thirty minutes on the scene.

District #3 Residents -
Today from 2pm – 9pm at our firehouse at 4611 Route 9 North is the annual Fire Commissioners budget and election. We are asking that you support the budget which is essential to providing fire and rescue suppression services for those that reside, work, or visit the Township of Howell. We ask for your support with voting for Incumbents Donald Franklin, Jr. and Louis B. Memmolo, III who are running unopposed for two seats on the Board.
In addition to voting YES for the budget, we are asking the residents of Fire District #3 to approve the purchase of a new aerial ladder apparatus. The proposed purchase shall meet the needs of the residents, businesses, and property owners within the district and surrounding response areas. The proposed aerial device will replace a (19) year old first due Rescue Engine and a (16) year old Mid-mount Tower which have become obsolete and cost prohibitive to repair and maintain. The rescue engine and mid-mount tower will be sold or traded in to offset the cost of the procurement. It should be noted that this purchase will not impact the tax rate as almost 80% of the funding needed will be paid from money already in reserves from previous years.
During 2020 our members responded to 655 calls for service that accounted for 3,347 man-hours and specific to the COVID-19 Global pandemic, our department responded to 178 service requests across the town which accounted for 775 man-hours.
We, like volunteer fire companies across the nation, are finding it increasingly more difficult to recruit new members. Unfortunately in 2020 and into 2021, it has been more difficult than in the past to recruit new members due to the lack of community events. We used to organize and/or attend many public events, but due to COVID-19 most if not all of those events were cancelled. Our membership did complete 177 birthday drive-bys while we were all in COVID-19 lockdown, but other than that, most events were cancelled. We are hoping to have National night out in August, Howell Day in September, our Open House in October, and Breakfast with Santa and Firetruck Rides in December just to name a few.
Please be sure to come vote YES for our budget as well as YES on the capital question to replace two apparatus with one as well as supporting Donald Franklin, Jr. and Louis B. Memmolo, III.
Your continued support, dedication and generosity is valued and greatly appreciated by all members of Southard Fire Department. We wish you and your families a safe and healthy 2021.
Thank you!

This past Thursday we received a call for service to assist a resident who’s dog was stuck under their shed. Chief 19-3-68 arrived on location with Engine 19-3-77 and requested a rescue from Squankum Fire Company #1 to assist with lifting the shed up enough for the dog to escape. Units cleared after around 30 minutes on location with the dog extremely happy to be free. Thank you to the resident for sharing! We are always here to help our community and are always looking for new members! Message us through Facebook messenger for more info on how you can help with calls like this.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Mack looks happy to be free! Thank you Howell police and fire department’s
