With the blogs main purpose being geared towards training, pre-incident planning, and of course to assist with the communication process becoming more stream lined we decided to open our blog up to everyone.

BROOKLAWN 9/11/2001 MEMORIAL PARK
Members of Squad 51 were invited to Brooklawn, NJ to have the chance at taking part in the final stages of construction. This Sept. 11th memorial was built 100% from donations, E.P. Henry alone donated almost 40,000 dollars in pavers alone. Members got to write there names on a brick just before it was placed in the monument, which was extremely admirable of the builders. For those of you who dont know, some of the members of Squad 51 are also members of NJTF1, which is the states Urban Search and Rescue Team. Several of our members were activated to respond the day the towers came down, and worked on the pile for days before returning home to there loved one!
A special thanks to Brooklawn Police Captain Samen for the opportunity to take part in this historic event. Members working that day were: BC C.Sanderson, Capt. M. Campanel, FF K. Dillon, FF P. Hagan, and FF J. Tuttle

Hand Dug Basement!
This basement was found during a natural gas call, in two story tax payer. We actually forced entry to the second floor from the rear to find a burner left on with the flame out, ultimately filling the apartment up with NG. To add to this, we found a sleeping tenant in one of the bedrooms. Never the less while securing the gas in the basement we stumbled upon this hand dug alteration to the old unfinished basement! It appears they put in a new set of steps, but dug out about 75% of the basement to gain clearance for the new heating system that was installed. The first floor was an occupied hair salon with, tanning beds, and spray tan booths.
Building- This was an end of the row, 2 story ordinary, taxpayer. I appologise for not having any exterior photos, but I will grab them next time Im working.
