The first picture is the result of a dryer vent cleaning at the home of a local resident. Dryer lint is a significant fire hazard and can cause the total destruction of your home. The accumulation of lint in the vent pipe can ignite during the use of your dryer and cause a fire to advance rapidly.
Clean (or have cleaned) your dryer vent AT LEAST once every year.
that is why condo associations require cleaning. that is nuts
Jeff Miranda this is all you!
Terri Peoples Treanor we need this done ASAP

Congrats Dennis. Enjoy retirement!
Today RTFD on duty personnel were invited to participate in training at McMaster-Carr involving their procedures for forklift emergencies.
Glad he enjoyed that hat! We enjoy hearing the good experiences from our residents.Hello! I’m not sure if this is ok to post on this page but I’m hoping that someone can share with the Robbinsville Fire Department. Today my husband and son happened to be out front as one of the trucks drove by our house. He was so excited to see the truck coming and just went crazy when they were sweet enough to blow their horn for him. He just giggled away and surprisingly enough, the truck then stopped and a kind gentleman jumped out and brought him a hat. He’s been running around in it all day having a blast. I just wanted to send a HUGE Thank You to the dear souls on that truck that took the time to make my little boy so happy today. You guys rock!!! 🏆 🚒
Thanks again to the team for making my little man smile. ❤️ Antwaine Bethea
Fantastic job guys 😉
Recently students from the Robbinsville Malvern School summer camp came to the fire station to learn fire prevention and tour our facility. Thank you for coming by and visiting with us.
The annual Touch a Truck event at the Robbinsville Branch took place on Friday, July 20th. Vehicles from the Robbinsville Township Police Department, Robbinsville Township Fire Department, and Robbinsville Township Public Works were on hand to welcome children into the driver's seats. They giggled as sirens blared and lights activated. Each child received a Robbinsville police trading card, firefighter helmet, and lollipop!
Training today involved some work with our water rescue equipment and a tour (not a three hour tour) of Town Center lake.
The Robbinsville Township Fire Department expresses our deepest sympathies to the O’Brien family during this incredibly difficult time.The O'Briens / Team Isabella are an integral part of our Robbinsville Township family ... and our hearts are broken.
Sometimes there are no words.
This is one of those times.
**************************
"Isabella has had to deal with more than anyone should ever have to, but she has done so with a strength and attitude that has been inspiring to everyone that has had the pleasure of knowing her. Anyone who knows her can describe her infectious giggle that immediately puts a smile on your face. From first thing in the morning to the end of the day, she was always smiling, even during the toughest times.
During her tremendous battle, which has lasted almost 3 ½ years, she continued to dance, go to school, travel, and keep smiling. She always said that she would never stop fighting. She was true to her word. Her tremendous fight came to an end at about 7:00 this morning. She passed peacefully at home with her mother holding her hand, surrounded by the incredible love and support that has helped her and her family deal with this terrible ordeal.
From when Isabella was a baby, she was always such a caring, loving, thoughtful little girl. Even during the bad times, she would concern herself with how everyone else was doing, and doing whatever she could to cheer us up. She always thought of others first.
She loved her family, school, her teachers, and her amazing friends. Isabella was blessed to have real BFFs – a term that is thrown around very casually, but she really got to experience an amazing, supportive, loving group of wonderful friends who were always there for her, especially during the bad times.
We would like to thank all of you for your endless support. Isabella really enjoyed the years of pictures, posts and messages. They helped get her through the tough times.
Thank you all for being Team Isabella."
Our prayers and condolences with the family.
Our prayers and condolences with the family.
Heartbroken. Condolences to the family and may she Rest In Peace. She endured more than a little child ever should.
God Bless Isabella... 🙏🏻
RIP LITTLE ANGEL
Thoughts prayers and much love to this family.....
Today Robbinsville Firefighters participated in the annual “Touch a Truck” event at the Robbinsville Branch of the Mercer County Library and gave tours of Squad 40 to over 100 children and their families.
Concluding the recent awards that were presented to department staff.
Recently several department personnel were presented with various citations for incidents that have occurred over the past several years. The awards included Unit Citations and Life Saving ribbons.
The first incident involved a patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest while working out in a local gym. The patient had no pulse and was not breathing upon arrival. Fire department staff arrived and provided immediate CPR and defibrillation. The patient regained a pulse after intervention on scene and was discharged from the hospital several days later.
The two remaining incidents involved a serious motor vehicle accident with entrapped patients which included a complicated rescue scenario compounded by severe weather. The second incident involved the entrapment of the arm of a resident in a residential trash compactor which required several rescue techniques and emergency medical care.
These incidents were serious in nature and utilized the extensive training/abilities of our personnel. Their work resulted in the best possible outcomes for those in their time of need.
