Late this morning we had the honor of being present as The Moving Wall, a smaller replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, passed through Andover Township. The Wall has never before visited Sussex County. Thank you to ALL our Veterans!
Figured we’d share some cool history about one of the amazing State Parks in our primary! Thanks, Kittatiny Valley State Park!
An update from ATPD on yesterday’s accident which closed Route 206 near Simon Peter and the County garage. BLS 4355 handled the assignment with 4 members on scene plus another 2 members assembling for a second rig if it was needed.
Schools in our area re-open today. A quick reminder to drive with extra caution, stop for busses, and watch out for kids! Make it a great school year!
Today, Lakeland Emergency Squad participated in a live Fire Drill hosted by Stanhope Fire Department. Simulated house fire with (simulated) multiple fire Fighters down. Involved agencies included: Netcong Fire Company No. 1 , Byram Twp Fire Department , Budd Lake Fire Department Co.#1 , Hopatcong Fire Department, Stanhope-Netcong American Legion Ambulance Corps (SNALAC), Glenwood Pochuck Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Great to see multiple agencies working together!
BLS 4355 responded to this rollover accident in Andover Borough late this afternoon.Rt 206 is open now expect cones and trucks in the area til repairs are made!
Now for the RANT to the drivers that were so upset their travel plans got disrupted & were so disrespectful to the firefighters & NJ Dot workers that had the Rd closed & to the ones that drove through the cones. They are there for OUR safety. Our members & responders working on scene SAFETY comes before anything. So next time your pissed off b/c you had to wait or had to take a detour Thank the responders on scene & pray for the people involved. If not come look for the short female in the white hat if you have a problem!!!!
THANK YOU TO Andover Twp Fd, Andover Twp Pd, Andover Dispatch, Green Twp Fd, NJSP, NJ DOT, Sussex Cty Sheriff's office, sparta pd for the help & having our backs!!! And to Lakeland for transporting the individuals involved....

"I saw a flame in the pump almost immediately, and that's when I said 'get out'," Gnecco said.Our crews are out at The Fields at Waterloo for the From Good Homes concert 🎶 We always enjoy the concerts and large events at this historic venue!
This evening marked the end of an era as we said goodbye to our 2006 rescue truck. She is off to a great home in Geary, Oklahoma to proudly serve the Mid-West. Over the last several years, the field of emergency services has seen the need to adapt with the times; very few EMS agencies are still running full rescue trucks these days with the onset of most fire companies having one or more and the depletion of available volunteers. Duplicative services has become a common sign of waste and the unnecessary need to hold on to times gone by. Don’t get us wrong, we will miss this old girl, but know that we are a leaner, more efficient agency without a truck sitting idle as a wasted resource. (Note that out rehab services continue and are self-contained on the Special Services Unit.)
***15:45 07/20/21 Lakeland currently has three ambulances responding to an MVA at the Dunkin Donuts on Rt 206 in Byram. Please use caution in the area. ***
Our members are out again today providing medical coverage for special events in our area. Today we are at the Cycle Craft Team Bulldog Rump mountain bike race at Kittatinny Valley State Park in Andover Township.
