The Atlantic Highlands Fire Department (AHFD) is inviting interested local residents to join the volunteer unit and serve the community as part of its proud tradition of volunteer service.
Councilman Jose Pujols reiterated the department’s invitation for new members at Tuesday’s borough council meeting, as well as the department’ s safety reminders as the spring season approaches and residents are encouraged to be more mindful of seasonal fires. Pujols reported the department responded to 20 calls during the month in their round the clock and rapid response to any emergencies where their service is needed.
Persons 18 years of age and older are encouraged to seek applications for membership in the department at Borough Hall. Pujols pointed out there is also a Junior firefighter unit and applicants are also available for anyone between the ages of 14 and 18 interested in joining.
Because of increase outdoor recreational activities at home, Pujols said Fire Chief Chris Vasto reminds residents that remaining mindful of seasonal fire safety includes: testing smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms throughout the home, replacing smoke alarms that are more than ten years old, cleaning dryer lint filters and checking dryer vents regularly, using caution with outdoor smoking materials and not discarding any on the ground, never leaving untended fires outdoors, checking grills for grease buildup, damaged hoses or other signs of wear, clearing dry leaves and any debris from near grills, storing gasoline in proper containers as well as never near the home, and being especially alert during windy conditions so common in the spring.
