While it has been difficult to personally thank everyone publicly, we would like you to know that we are appreciative of everything and everyone who has extended themselves to help. This has certainly been the positive that has resulted from within this situation. Thank you all!! 👍

ROBBINSVILLE, NJ (MERCER)–A pick up truck driver is lucky to be alive tonight after his vehicle lost control, crashed into the woods, and burst into flames.
The Robbinsville Township Fire Department was dispatched to a vehicle fire on I-195 West Bound between Exits 7 and 8 on March 21, 2020 at 9:19 pm. Robbinsville Township Police and NJ State Police arrived and found a pickup truck had run off the roadway, into the woods and was well involved in fire. The police found the driver in the vicinity and was reported over the radio as ok but was later transported to RWJ at Hamilton Hospital for treatment. Hamilton Township Fire Department Station 19 was called to the scene and provided additional assistance.
No further information was available at the time of this report.
Thank you to Robbinsville Township Councilman Mike Cipriano for the pizza from Massimo’s provided to the on duty shift today. Our sincere thanks.
NJ 2-1-1 has been activated to help handle COVID-19 related calls from New Jersey residents.
All residents with questions or concerns about COVID-19 and resources available to them can dial 2-1-1.
Residents can also text NJCOVID to 898-211 to receive up-to-date information via text. To receive live text assistance, residents can text their ZIP code to 898-211.
Fire department and EMS personnel are instructed to maintain 6-foot 'social distance' from all contacts with the public unless a direct intervention and hands-on approach is required based on emergent or life-threatening circumstances. In this case, don't be alarmed if personnel put on various levels and types of personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect you and them. In many cases, they will ask you to put on a surgical mask that they will provide.
Personnel, from a 6-foot distance, will also ask all contacts with the public who called for 9-1-1 service the following questions before rendering aid (medical, smoke alarm help, investigations, public service assistance, etc.):
a. Are you or anyone in the residence/building/location under a self- or ordered-quarantine due to COVID-19/coronavirus?
b. Are you or anyone in the residence/building/location experiencing any symptoms of a respiratory infection (cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat, etc)?
After questions are answered, personnel will determine the level of PPE they will put on and proceed as the incident dictates. Again, don't be alarmed, it is to keep you and them safe in accordance with CDC guidelines.
In an effort to protect our firefighters and emergency medical personnel we ask that if you call 9-1-1 for any reason please let the call taker know if you or anyone in your household are experiencing any flu-like symptoms.
Help us help you!

Today the RTFD and the Robbinsville Professional Firefighters Association - IAFF Local 3786 provided a memorable experience for the first winner of our department trading card contest. Madilyn and her mom Alisha were picked up at home and given a ride in a fire engine to Sharon Elementary School by our on duty firefighters (video in comments). Madilyn was escorted to her classroom and was also awarded our first prize after collecting all of the trading cards.
While Madilyn is our first winner she won't be our last. You can be our next winner. The details of our card contest can be found in the comments section.
