A South Jersey fire department is being forced to consolidate three of their fire stations, due to a lack of volunteers.
"I’m going to miss the familiar sounds, you know, the familiar sights and sounds," says Donald Nickle, who lives in Tansboro.The sights and sounds he’ll miss come from his neighbors across the street, the Tansboro Fire Station, in Winslow Township, which is closing."I see them there every week and they’ve gone to calls locally in the area. We are going to miss not having them," says Nickle.
Chief Rigberg says that restructuring consists of combining those three departments to operate out of their headquarters on Cedar Brook Road."Winslow Township is a big town, so that’s going to increase response time, traffic and what not," says Nickle.Fire officials say they believe the response time will remain the same, mainly because over the years they’ve been able to hire some paid firefighters who work around the clock, at strategically placed stations.
