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.

This afternoon we were dispatched to a local business due to employees having head aches and not feeling well. Several business were checked and the source of the issue was two ovens that were not performing optimally and were producing high levels of Carbon Monoxide. Our units ventilated the businesses and NJNG arrived on location and locked out the gas until proper repairs can be made. We are always looking for new members, if interested in helping your neighbors, reach out through Facebook messenger.
