We want to make sure that everyone has the peace of mind that they deserve, knowing a firefighter has the right tools to keep them safe,” stated Assembly Wayne DeAngelo. Adding a new ladder fire truck to the roster will help the now consolidated fire division improve their response to emergencies throughout the Township. It is important that we keep Hamilton's fire department up to date with new equipment so that firefighters can respond to emergencies in the best way possible. “I am proud to help make sure that Hamilton is safe because of the funding we secured in the State's budget. This appropriation of a million dollars will go towards the purchase of a new ladder truck, so that these men and women are able to respond in those moments where we need them most,” commented Senator Linda Greenstein. “I’m so pleased that we were able to secure this funding in this year’s State Budget because it’s a matter of public safety. “We’re lucky to have some of the best firefighters here in Hamilton – but how well they’re able to do their jobs, to keep us safe, depends on the functionality of their tools,” said Senator Linda Greenstein. We saw that need far more than ever just up the road from the fire headquarters at the Whitehead Road fire, how important it is to have proper working ladder trucks and enough ladder trucks in Hamilton to protect our community,” commented Mayor Jeff Martin. They delivered with a million-dollar check for a brand-new ladder truck. “Linda, Wayne, and Dan have been at the forefront in supporting this fire department.
In that time, the Township has seen how busy Hamilton’s Fire service is, especially its ladder trucks. Over two years ago, Hamilton finally consolidated nine separate Fire Districts into 1 Municipal Fire Division.
The 2005 truck will serve as a reserve vehicle as a backup to the ladder trucks in service. The new ladder truck, funded partly by the State budget funding of $1 million, will replace a 2005 E-One Ladder truck with 106,000 miles on it. Mayor Jeff Martin joined with State Senator Linda Greenstein, Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo, Assemblyman Daniel Benson, Council President Chuddy Whalen, Councilman Pat Papero, and Fire Chief Christopher Tozzi last week to announce the receipt of $1 million in State Budget funding for the purchase of a new ladder truck for the Hamilton Township Fire Division in order serve the community better.
