You guys are the best! Thank you for coming out.
Hey @followers, as we get ready to turn in on the eve of our annual budget election, we just wanted to clarify a few things and remind everybody of the importance of our operating budget that will be voted on tomorrow.
While the number will go up slightly over last year, we strongly encourage you to look at your tax receipt and see just what a small component of your overall taxes, your Fire Tax actually makes up.
We also feel that it is important to understand what this budget goes towards and why our budget may be different than a few others in town.
- Did you know that hydrants installed for our mutual benefit actually cost us money?!?! Every year we have to pay a fee to New Jersey American Water for each hydrant that exists within our district (every district pays a fee for their hydrants)
- We are one of two departments in Howell Township who has a career program to provide our residents with maximum fire protection, even when many of our volunteers are at work.
- Equipment and maintenance - unfortunately, pretty much every industry has been hit by inflation, and the fire service is no different, to outfit ONE firefighter with NFPA compliant gear, an air pack, and proper equipment is upwards of $8,000
So tomorrow we ask of you, please support us in our endless mission to keep you, your family and your property safe. Vote "YES" to the Fire Budget. If you don't live in Howell District 3, please feel free to reach out and we can direct you where to go to support YOUR local fire district.
As always our members truly appreciate and certainly don't take for granted, your unwavering support.
District 3 Voting is located in the John Somay Memorial Banquet Hall at 4611 US 9 North Howell NJ 07731

Nicely said. Most people don’t truly understand costs associated with running a firehouse.
I will be there!!
Is this the hall next to the fire house?

Antique Apparatus Back In Town
It’s been a long road but finally, after 3 years, 5 months and 20 days, she is finally home. Southard Fire Dept No.1 is proud to announce that the first apparatus we ever purchased new, a 1939 Chevrolet built by Fire Apparatus Corporation out of Rockville Center Long Island, has been completely restored and returned home.
We would like to take a moment to thank the team at Lee's Emergency Equipment in Tuckerton, NJ for their hard work and dedication to reinvigorating life back into our apparatus, and we send a special thank you to the team at Mike Stahnten and Certified Auto Mall for transporting the apparatus to/from Lee’s.
Lastly big shout out to the Committee for the many hours it took to research and plan this project. Our forefathers of Southard would truly be proud. There is still quite a bit of work left finding some of the additional equipment for the apparatus.
This fully restored antique apparatus will be utilized as a funeral vehicle for our departed membership, and will also make its appearance in local parades and community events. Thank you again to everyone who has been a part of making this restoration a huge success.
If anyone has any good leads on old fire ladders and hard suction hose from the late 1930’s- 1940’s please DM us.

that would be Approved Fire Apparatus in Rockville Centre and later Island Park.
Looks great!
In reference to getting ladders I watched a show on how the Chicago FD has a group of guys that rebuild wooden ladders. They may be able to put you in touch with someone or assist you.
