My dad Bob Ackerman was on the fire department from 1953 tilll 1964 when we moved to old bridge-He was involved in all those fire calls with our neighbors from adams st=Ray Smith, Dominick Lanza, and Vinnie King-I always remember when the alarm went off and off they go down the block pickingup each other on there way to the firehouse-as a youth I remember great family events at the firehouse-would love to come back someday and visit the place, my dad died 10 years ago and was a Member of The New Jersey Exempt Fireman's association

Congrats Chief Andrew Phillips on your promotion .Craig,Tom,Mike, Steve and my other brothers stay safe and I'll see ya in Wildwood.
You have a very nice website, come back healthy from all operations, with comradely greetings from germany. An entry in the guestbook (Gästebuch) of www.feuerwehr-tiefenort.de we would be very, very happy.

I grew up at District 11. My dad was Joey Ward. I even was married there! I have such fond memories. I have all of his fire memorabilia displayed in my wreck room. Hope everyone is doing well.

my father was a fireman with district 11 back in 1967 and served for a number of years. he installed the current air horn system back in 1961. have a picture of him with marty mahon. due to his multiple sclerosis he had to resign and moved to florida where he passed away in 1994. we lived nextto joe hutteman on auth ave and was good friends with his brother gus. he also was a good friend of tommy burke. sadly all these guys have passed away also.the old timers will remember my father. they may also remember the bad accident he was in on rt. 27 where he was thrown off the truck. keep up the good work. gene bryson

Hey guys, great job with the pancake breakfast, good to see you active in the community.
Your brothers across the tracks are shaving our heads for cancer on March 30, for the annual "St.Baldrick's" event. Its all in the name of conquering childrens cancer, and we are hoping to get some donations from people who would like to see us "go bald" in solidarity with kids who typically lose thier hair during cancer treatment. Go to www.St.Baldricks.org and support your brothers in their fight against kids cancer!!!
