RIP to your Brother…
The Southard Fire Department is happy to announce that we have finally solidified our plans with the North Pole and are ready to share it with the residents of Howell. We will begin our annual escort of Santa around Howell Fire District 3 on Sunday 12/10 at approximately 6PM (or whenever he is done with the township tree lighting, and gets some warm dinner). We will go until approximately 9PM. This is all however, weather permitting. Each night that follows, we will set out at 7PM (ending at 9pm) until our entire district is covered. NOTE that as always we CANNOT VISIT tight streets and cup-de-sacs. We will place our tracker link up each night and you can follow our live location. You will DEFINITELY hear us coming. (Every nights is weather permitting).
But wait… There’s MORE!
On December 17th from 9am until 1 PM at our building we will have a breakfast with the big man himself. Come visit, eat all the pancakes you can and make sure he has the latest copy of your Christmas list. Truck Rides will go until 1pm.
Reminder to the Adults - no conflict or negative comments will be tolerated on our Santa posts. Each night we gather to bring this experience to you and your family is a night that we are giving up with our own. Please embrace the spirit of the season and be kind to the responders who put this on and to one another.

It is with a heavy heart that the Southard Fire Department announce the passing of Life Member, Former President, and Ex-Chief John Walker.
Chief Walker joined the department in 1960 and was an instrumental part of one of the most influential and constructive generations that this department has seen. Chief Walker had a huge part in sculpting the professional and successful organization that we are today. John rose to the ranks of Chief in 1966 and later went on to serve as President in 1969.
John was a well respected member and mentored some of the finest firefighters and leaders that this department has produced. He put his heart and soul into the department, and for that we will forever be thankful. I wish I could state in this post how much he truly means to all of us, but there are simply no words.
Services for Chief Walker are as follows:
Viewing at Lakewood Funeral Home
Friday 12/8/2023 5pm - 8pm
Fireman’s service at 7pm
Funerals procession (begins at Lakewood Funeral Home)
Saturday 12/9/2023 10am
Rest Easy Chief, we'll take it from here.

Today we pause to remember the life and legacy of John Hugo Somay who died in the line of duty thirty years ago today, on 11/15/1993. May his memory remain and he continue to rest in peace.
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. Free and Accepted Masons Crescent Temple
