Firefighters Save Robbinsville Home
MidJersey.news
The Robbinsville Township Fire Department and Police Department responded to Hibiscus Lane for a chimney fire just after 2:00 am. When police and firefighters arrived they found smoke and fire coming from the walls of the home near the fire place and called for an “all hands” fire sending additional units from Hamilton Township Fire Department, West Windsor Fire Company and Hope Fire Company of Allentown to the scene.
Firefighters pulled multiple hand lines and laddered the structure to combat the fire. Firefighters found fire in the walls around the chimney and fire was extending up the chimney wrap to the top of the chimney. Firefighters used saws and axes to open walls and the exterior chimney to extinguish the fire. The bulk of fire was quickly knocked down but took an approximately 30 minutes to fully bring the fire under control and extinguishing hot spots.
The Robbinsville Township Fire Marshal was en route to the scene to investigate the fire. No cause will be released until after the investigation is completed. No further information is available at this time.

Santa Claus is Coming.....TOMORROW!!!!
The Robbinsville Township Fire Department and the Robbinsville Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 3786 will escort Santa Claus through Robbinsville Township on his annual visit on Saturday, December 19th beginning at 10am.
We will once again provide live GPS tracking of Santa. The day of the event links will be posted which will provide live tracking of Santa's progress (Santa has more than one helper). You will be able to track, in real time, Santa's location and when he will be approaching your neighborhood/street.
The tracker will be posted on the Facebook pages of the Robbinsville Township Fire Department and the Robbinsville Professional Firefighters Association - IAFF Local 3786.
There will be no listed schedule by street. Santa's arrival often depends on the duration of prior stops or any emergency calls that we may have to respond to during the event, making the schedule inaccurate. On the day of the event the "Santa Tracker" will be posted showing his exact location which will assist in estimating arrival.
**A reminder that we will also be collecting food pantry donations as we take Santa Claus around town. Items to donate should be canned goods and non-perishable grocery items. We cannot accept items that must be refrigerated. **
Attached is a zone map utilized by department personnel the day of the event. There are two Santa's working on December 19th. One Santa will be on the east side of Route 130 and the other Santa will be on the west side of Route 130. The apparatus will travel in number order by zone on each side. This is simply to provide an idea of when Santa may be in your neighborhood and is subject to change.
drive.google.com/file/d/1-LaygDS5KGDzhq9MUI4jTmirzOjlsUha/view?usp=sharing
In order to ensure that Santa remains healthy for his return trip the following week, Santa and his helpers will be practicing strict social distancing and will not be making any stops or visits. Out of an abundance of caution he will not be giving out any treats.

We would like to thank the residents of Springside at Robbinsville for visiting yesterday with their generous donation of a holiday gift basket.
We would also like to thank Chestnut Montessori for their basket as well.
Thank you all for your continued support!!
We are stunned to hear about this attempt on our holiday cheer. We aren’t sure why the Grinch would appear. We hear his head may not be screwed on just right or his shoes may be too tight. But whatever the reason for attempting to destroy our season, we hope that the one thing that ends it all is a meeting with the law.

December is the peak time of year for home candle fires according to the National Fire Protection Association.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when lighting candles this holiday season. 🕎 🕯️
Never leave lit candles unattended.
Keep open flames away from anything that could catch fire like drapes, cabinets, and bedding.
Make sure candles are secure in their holders.
Make sure to soak used matches in water before throwing them away to avoid trash fires.

Today, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program collected the toys from the fire station that were donated over the last month for children in need during the holiday season. We were proud of the overwhelming response from the community and thank everyone who donated in an effort to make the holiday season special for others. There were over 27 boxes of toys collected which went a long way in filling their truck.
We can no longer accept any additional toys, as they will not be collected. If anyone still wishes to donate please reach out to a local charity in need. Again, thank you to all who donated.
Great job Robbinsville Fire Department. You guys are great and I can’t wait till next year to collect again.
Loading up a whole lotta love from the Robbinsville Fire Department! Thank you!!!!!
Awesome
Great job guys!
Well done
Christmas trees account for hundreds of fires each year. Typically, shorts in electrical lights or open flames from candles, lighters or matches start tree fires. Well-watered trees are not a problem. A dry and neglected tree can be.
Picking the Tree🎄
• Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.
Placing the Tree🎄
• Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 2” from the base of the trunk.
• Make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source such as fireplaces, radiators, candles, or any other heat source.
• Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit.
• Add water to the tree stand. Be sure to add water
daily.
