Friday, February 15, 2013 10:00 Today, WAWA opened their newest location in Manalapan at the intersection of Woodward Rd. and Rt. 33. The WAWA Corporation kindly invited our Fire Department along with the Police Dept., First Aid Squad, & Township officials. WAWA strongly recognized and thanked all Emergency personnel in the township. WAWA made and donated 500 Sandwiches to the local Monmouth county Food Bank. WAWA also donated $1000.00 to a charity of this department’s choice. Manalapan Twp. Fire Co #1 chose the Union Beach Disaster Relief Fund. As many of you know Manalapan Twp. Fire Co #1 went to Union Beach Fire Dept. shortly after the storm to give assistance to their emergency services and give those guys a break for a while. We would like to thank WAWA for their generous donation to a very important charity.   Welcome to the south side of town...

Friday, January 4, 2013  A fire broke out on the first floor of a two-story home on North Parsonage Way Friday afternoon that was quickly knocked out. The fire ignited in the laundry room and did not extend to any other rooms, according to Manalapan Township Fire Company #1 Fire Chief Ryan Perrone.

Manalapan Township Fire Company #1, the Englishtown Fire Department, and the Gordons Corner Fire Company all responded to the scene along with patrolmen from the Manalapan Police Department.

The home is owned by Charles Marchese, according to New Jersey Tax Records. No one was hurt in the fire, although family members were home at the time that it ignited.

Manalapan Township Fire Marshall Rick Hogan was on the scene investigating after the fire was extinguished. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by Hogan as of Friday evening.

An Englishtown Fire Department member said that the cause of the fire is currently under investigation, but they were informed over the radio that the fire may have stemmed from the dryer in the upstairs laundry room.

Friday, December 14, 2012 0959 hrs At 09:59 hours, 12/14/12.  Stations 26-2 & 12-1.  Were dispatched for a Motor Vehicle Accident in front of 64 Main Street, in Englishtown.  Upon arrival, units found a fully loaded dump truck filled with stone on it's side, resting on a Mini School Bus.  The truck apparently lost control, first striking a white SUV, then rolled over, landing on the bus. Luckily there were no injuries, and no children on the bus.  Boyce's Towing arrived with 3 heavey duty tow trucks, and bulldozer to upright the truck and push all the stone away to remove the Bus. Great job done by all...
