Monday, February 4, 2013 At 1:22PM LSFD was dispatched into Shrewsbury Borough for structure fire on Sycamore Ave, reported to be fully involved. Engine 23-77 and Rescue 23-86 responded in with a full compliment of firefighters, with the Chief on the scene. Crews arrived to find a large single family dwelling that was over 100 years old with heavy fire showing. Crews went to work right away attempting to make an aggressive interior attack but were forced out due to poor conditions inside. LSFD remained on scene until 8:20PM assisting our brothers from Shrewsbury. All of the fire departments on scene did a great job working together, and getting the job done safely. LSFD would like to commend Shrewsbury Fire Chief Peter Gibson, also an Ex-Chief from LSFD. Crews were faced with a dangerous situation, and because of the leadership, everyone went home safe!

Much of our town sustained flood damage from the Shrewsbury River's rising storm surge. Over 250 homes were affected with many families displaced. Firefighters staffed the firehouse for approximately 2 weeks responding to nearly 90 emergency incidents. Some of the incidents included 2 structure fires, water rescues, and many carbon monoxide incidents. Firefighters also responded to area municpalities to provide assistance.We would like to thank all the residents for your support throughout the storm from cooking to providing essentials for the crews as well as families that came from all over the country to donate items. We would also like to thank the Kingwood Fire Department from Hunterdon County for providing relief for our crews. We would also like to thank Mayor Neff and the Borough Council for your support. Lastly, thanks to all the members that helped protect lives and property in Little Silver.
