communities meet their firefighting and emergency response needs by providing assistance towards the purchase of critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training programs, and other resources needed to ensure community safety. Winslow’s grant will be used to replace over 100 self-contained breathing apparatuses, a device worn by first responders to provide breathable air in life-threatening conditions.
\”The air packs purchased with this federal grant will help bolster fire operations by giving our first responders the ability to breath longer in toxic smoke conditions,\” said Congressman Andrews. \”At a time when towns are faced with difficult budget decisions, this boost in federal funding represents hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings that can help elevate the department’s operating costs, improve its efficiency, and sustain the jobs of its non-volunteer staff without burdening the taxpayers.\”
\”New Jersey’s communities are blessed to be served by the brave men and women of our fire departments,\” said Senator Menendez. \”This

Mayor Wolk: Neighbors Came Together and Helped Each Other Out

By Leigh Anne Hubbs

NEWS Correspondent

MOUNT EPHRAIM-Mayor Joseph Wolk received several letters from Mount Ephraim residents commenting on the wonderful job Public Works employees did sanding, salting and plowing the roads during the snowstorms this winter.

\”Neighbors came together and helped each other out,\” Mayor Wolk proudly said of the residents’ response to all the snowfall.

Speaking at the March Board of Commissioners’ meeting, the mayor was referring to the four major snowstorms that set an all-time record of 78 inches of snow for one season.

Commissioner Bruce Greenwald read out loud a letter received from School Superintendent Joseph Rafferty thanking the Public Works, Police and Fire department for their hard work with regard to the snowstorms and helping to keep the children of Mount Ephraim safe.

Borough Clerk Terry Shannon read a proclamation in honor of Women’s History Month, which stated that women contribute to the work force in and out of their homes and they account for the majority of volunteer workers in New Jersey.
