 <![CDATA[&nbsp;
At approximately 2130 hrs the Gloucester County Communications center struck a District 7 Box for a dwelling fire at the corner of Poplar and Maple Avenues in the Gardiner&amp;rsquo;s Tract Section of the Borough. &nbsp;Upon arrival of Chief Farley, he reported a 2 &amp;frac12; story&nbsp;single family&nbsp;with nothing showing. Upon further investigation, he found a smoke condition in the residence and advised the fire board to upgrade the assignment to the all hands box.
The Engine Company initially reported trouble finding the seat of the fire due to the conditions on the second floor. At the ten minute mark all companies were making good progress, two hand lines were stretched and operating, a supply line was established and the&nbsp;ladder companies were opening up. &nbsp;The fire was placed under control at the thirty minute mark, as crews continued overhaul and salvage operations. The Gloucester County Fire Marshals Office was on scene to conduct the investigation. No firefighter or civilian injuries were reported.

 <![CDATA[Over the course of the last couple months, members have been coming together to run an in-house Duty Crew on Sundays, running numerous box alarms and a handful of incidental responses and this Sunday would prove to be no exception.The day started out with a minor MVC at Olive St. and Delsea Dr. in the morning hours sending two (2) patients to an area hospital. During the afternoon, a NJ&nbsp;State DOT&nbsp;Worker pulled into the fire house parking lot looking for assistance. While performing his routine patrols of State Highway 295 he found a small dog running down the highway and was attempting to catch it before it was struck by a passing vehicle when the dog ran down the embankment and into Big Timber Creek. Members responded to the area in the Rescue Company to lend assistance in rescuing the dog. The dog had managed to swim across a portion of the creek onto the site of the Bellmawr Water Front project. Due to crossing the water, Chief 701 requested Marine 33 to the scene to secure the dog. Bellmawr Marine32 was able to reach the dog and bring him safely to shore. Bellmawr members took care of the dog while attempts to locate the owner where successfully made and the dog was returned the next day. Members then responded to National Park for a Smoke Investigation which proved to be unfound.As the weekly Duty Crew was winding down for the members, Camden County Alarm Room dispatched the Task Force 5 Box (Gloucester City) for the reported building fire at Market Street and Philmore Street. Ladder Company 736 responded quickly with a staffing of 6. Squad Co. 51 arrived and reported a self storage facility with heavy fire involving multiple units.

 	<title>New Jersey's Move Over Law</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www.westvillefd.com/news/fullstory/newsid/151218</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[State and local officials gathered in Bridgewater&nbsp; today to draw attention to 
New Jerseyâs Move Over law that requires motorists to move over if safe 
to do so when they approach an emergency vehicle stopped on the side of 
the road.
Officials met in Bridgewater to highlight the 2009 law and to educate
 the motoring public about how a simple act of courtesy can help save 
lives.
In addition to participating in a press conference at Bridgewater 
Town Hall, the New Jersey Department of Transportation helped spread 
awareness by posting âSlow Down-Move Over-Itâs the Lawâ and âRespect 
&amp;amp; Protect 1st Respondersâ messages on its Dynamic Message System 
displays along highways statewide.
âI strongly urge motorists to observe the law and give police, EMS 
and our NJDOT maintenance workers a full lane-width of space if itâs 
available wherever they encounter first-responders and roadway workers,â
 said NJDOT Commissioner James Simpson. âWith high volumes of traffic 
often moving at high rates of speed, that extra space can help save a 
life.â
âOur first responders put their lives on the line for us every day, 
so the least we can do is obey the law and help increase their safety in
 a dangerous work environment,â said state Senator Christopher âKipâ 
Bateman.
Under the law, motorists are required to slow down as they pass first
 responders on roadway shoulders if they cannot safely shift to another 
lane to create space for them. The law also applies to tow trucks and 
highway maintenance vehicles.
âNew Jersey State Troopers have lost their lives by being struck by 
motorists,â said Col. Rick Fuentes, superintendent of the New Jersey 
State Police. âThese tragedies can be prevented if everyone adheres to 
the law and either gives a cushion of space or slows down.â
âWe are pleased to host this event in Bridgewater, where six 
high-speed, high-volume state highways converge,â said Bridgewater Mayor
 Patricia Flannery. âI remind motorists that the law also applies to 
county and municipal roadways, where our local police and first 
responders benefit every time a motorist slows down or gives them room.â
Since the law was enacted in January 2009, a total of 2,347 summonses
 have been issued to motorists who were charged with violating the law.
âMany New Jersey motorists already take steps to protect those who 
protect them, and we appreciate those good driving habits,â said Gary 
Poedubicky, Acting Director of the New Jersey Division of Highway 
Traffic Safety. âWe hope other motorists adopt those same safety 
practices as a result of this event to publicize the Move Over law.âInformation provided by NJTODAY.NET...]]>
