We think it is a wonderful thing that Santa goes for a ride on your firetrucks and thank you for the time and effort that goes into it.
However, in the future please, please come down Alton Street! My boys waited for hours in their jackets by the door only to see the firetrucks go by on Cedar St. 2-3 times without going down our street.They are still asking why Santa did not come.
Maybe a planned and posted route would work better next year so we know where to go to wait?
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I love visiting the site. I was a member in 1972 and it basically started my career. I was raised in the old firehouse and have my and my father's badges. I was third generation. My father and grandfather were both named George Halpin. My mother was in the Auxiliary. My brother, Eddie, was also a member. Thanks for a great site. Will return often. I am a retired firefighter and retired fire chief. Stay safe.

I wanted to share the letter of thanks I sent to the editors of the Tri-Town News, the Asbury Park Press and to the Mayor thanking you for the quick response and professioanl service you provided when Hurrican Irene knocked down our chimney at 2 AM! Unfortunately, my letter is longer than the restricted "character count" here but in short, our family would like to extend our thanks to the entire New Egypt emergency response team for such professional service in a time of crisis.

Hello New Egypt Fire Company. Some how time has past all too fast as I found your site and realized how many of the men I served with and the chiefs I had the honor to serve for have passed away. The value of your service remains as important today as when I was serving with you. I hope your great work is appreciated. I miss those oyster dinners. Best wishes.

Hi All,
Thanks to Kenny Ivins for sending a link to this site. I enjoyed the history of the FD greatly. I was raised in NE, where I was related to everyone, but haven't lived there since 1967. My mom (Sarah Tilghman) and her Sister Blanche (Grant) Gray from Mt. Holly, (both deceased) always atteneded the Oyster dinners or got a to go box.
I can remember when the old firehouse was in use on RR Avenue. The siren would sound and everyone would follow the trucks to their destination. Not a good practice. Some of the big fires, which I remember, were a large barn out near Harry Wrights home, and another on Lakewood Road - Wikswo I think or perhaps Emery (one of my relatives). I wasn't living in the area when my Uncle Ted Robbins' farm house (a 32 room structure off of Brindletown Rd) burned in the 76 or 77 and it was so cold, the dept couldn't get water from the lake to aid in their efforts. Your dept also attended the fire of the farm house where I was born at Central adjacent to Countyline Road on the Monmouth Rd, and the American House on Main. I feel their loss everytime I visit.
I have lived in SC & GA since 1988. My own home burned in Jan 2004. It too was fought by a rural volunteer fire dept on a very cold icy night. My biggest fear was the safety of all those guys whom I had known for a long time.
Prior to our fire, we helped raise funds for our local department (Modoc SC), our town population about 150 or so. All of that effort made me more appreciative of the great firehouse built in NE when I was too young to comprehend the amount of time and effort it required to make it happen.
When my mother passed away in 2007, we used the the activity room for lunch at the NE Dept.
Thanks to all of those oldtimers, many now gone, for their efforts and the current board for maintaining a vital fire department for NE; and the auxillary for it's fund raising support as well.
I will be sending along a memorial in honor of Richard (Dick) Tilghman (my cousin - our grandfathers were brothers) who passed away this week. Thank you all for your efforts to protect NE and may you all be safe while doing so.
