The Princeton Fire Department’s top responding volunteers were honored by Princeton Council for their dedication at its meeting earlier this month.
Princeton Councilman Tim Quinn, who is the council’s fire commissioner or liaison to the Princeton Fire Department, praised the six volunteers – three who are “regular” members and three who belong to the “associate” program at the May 6 meeting.
A seventh volunteer who is a member of the Princeton Fire Department’s fire police unit also was recognized for his dedication. The fire police, all of whom are volunteer firefighters, assist the Princeton Fire Department at an incident.
The all-volunteer Princeton Fire Department, which is made up of Princeton Hook & Ladder Co., Princeton Engine Co. No. 1 and Mercer Engine Co. No. 3, responded to 723 calls in 2018.
