We are happy to announce that after six months we were able to place into service a new command vehicle that will be utilized by Chief 19-3-67. Our old vehicle was totaled as the result of a motor vehicle accident. We thank the Board of Fire Commissioners District #3 for their help replacing our prior unit.
And Elite Vehicle Solutions! Great outcome.
Nice rig !
Nice truck suburban or Tahoe
Them new Tahoe‘s are beautiful too. Good job
Yesterday afternoon, Southard Fire was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident on Friendship Road. Engine 19-3-75 responded with Rescue 19-3-86 and chiefs 19-3-68 and 19-3-66. The vehicle went through a fence, across a pool, through another fence and struck a tree behind a house. Units were on location for almost twenty minutes. The vehicle was recovered by Certified Auto Mall. The patient was treated for minor injuries by Howell Township First Aid and Rescue Squad #1.
This should be an advertisement for that pool cover 😰
Looks like the bend in the road by the entrance to Glen Arden. Way too fast around that corner and thats what you get. Hope there was tickets issued. Young kid or a lakewood resident i would assume.
If only they had left that little tree there, it would have at least slowed the car down a bit. That curve is so dangerous! Especially if you come at it wrong and obviously way too fast.
Maybe if people would drive the speed limit… Just a thought…
Well looks like the homeowner will be getting a New Fence and pool cover some Patio furniture a little landscaping done for Christmas. Slow down hang on and enjoy the ride.
Josh Nocks at Nocks Pools definitely installed that pool cover for it to be holding a car. 💯
Good pool cover
Looks like they couldn't miss that most important text and just drive instead and slow down.
If I was the homeowner there I’d invest in some big ass boulders and put them right on that curve ….on my property line…

Yesterday two of our members that are in the final days of Firefighter 1 training had their “Putting It All Together Day” at the Monmouth County Fire Academy. This day is significant as it allows the recruits to demonstrate the skills they have learned in front of their family and friends. We are very proud of our own Eva DeAngelis and Dmitry Zhemchuzhnikov. Now they move on to Firefighter 2! We thank all the instructors that assisted with training not only our members but also the other firefighters that are coming through the county fire academy.
Great job. Good luck to both of you.👍🧑🚒

Earlier this week members trained on forcible entry strategies and tactics. Training consisted of opening swing out, as well as swing in doors. Additionally, we trained on through the lock entry by pulling the lock cylinder out and unlocking the door. We thank Adelphia Fire Company for allowing us to use their door prop and building for the drill.

On this evening, we remember our brother John H Somay who was who was killed in the line of duty 28 years ago today.
John Hugo Somay
15 Nov 1919 15 Nov 1993
A lifelong resident of Howell Township, NJ, John Somay was a WWII Marine Corps. Veteran. He joined the Southard Fire Dept. #1 on May13, 1949 and rose through the ranks of the department ultimately becoming Chief in 1958-1959. One of the reasons John was so popular amungst the membership and community was his work as a machinist, he would tell the members,”Why spend money on parts when we can build them”. And he did, fixing the fire apparatus many times with parts he made in his own garage. In later years, John became a Fire Police Officer for the department as well as the Monmouth County Fire Police.
When Howell Township was divided into five Fire Districts, on Feb. 20, 1960, John was elected as one of the Charter Fire Commissioners, and held that position for many years.
On Nov. 15, 1993, his 74th birthday, John packed his car with $386 worth of brand new fishing gear to enjoy his favorite pastime, fishing the rivers of upstate New York. Just before he was to leave for vacation, a brush fire was called in on Miller Road. John told his wife Teenie, “On the way back from the fire, I’m gonna fill up with gas and get some ice”. John never got a chance to do that. While directing traffic at the fire scene, John was struck by a vehicle and died.

I remember that night so vividly. Johnny was a great guy, always there directing traffic. May he rest in peace 🙏
A tragic night for SFD John was a mentor to many of us RIP
May he Rest in Peace.♥️🙏🇺🇲
Rest In Peace Chief, you’ll never be forgotten. 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
Continue to rest easy Chief
I remember that day… I was still an intern then . We were all shocked
Rest easy brother
May he rest in eternal peace!
Veterans Day is not over. Everyday can be if you want to recognize one of your Heroes.
Thank a Veteran, First Responder and a Frontline Worker with a simple nomination.
Thank you to all our military service members, past and present. Without you, this country would not be as great as it is. We commend you for your service and say, “Thank You”!
I would like to take this opportunity and thank the Southard Fire Dept. No.1 for having the Howell Township First Aid and Rescue Squad #1 Cadets for a tour of your fire company. The kids had a great time. It’s always a pleasure working with your dept.

Early this morning members reported to Gateway National Recreation Area as part of the Southern Monmouth Large Diameter Pipeline Task Force. Units from a multitude of agencies participated with laying almost a mile of large diameter hose to two destination aerial devices. Teamwork and cooperation made the drill a success.
Awesome that this is a drill now! My fire company was part of the hoseline from NWS Earle to the Collingwood Auction Fire. There weren't drills for it back then but we pulled it off!
