The East Freehold Fire Company would like to thank the taxpayers and residents of Freehold Township , as well as the Board of Fire Commissioners, for their continued investment in the safety of our volunteer firefighters.
With the support of our residents, who voted YES to approve the Fire District’s budget, the Board of Fire Commissioners was able to purchase eight brand-new sets of LION structural firefighting PPE through the District’s partnership with Galls. This was a planned investment of taxpayer dollars to replace and maintain the protective equipment our firefighters depend on every time they answer the call.
Firefighter protective equipment is specialized, highly regulated, and expensive. To put the cost of this purchase into perspective, outfitting ONE firefighter can cost approximately:
🧥 Structural Turnout Coat — $2,500
👖 Structural Turnout Pants — $1,900
🥾 Structural Bunker Boots — $500
⛑️ Structural Firefighting Helmet — $650
🧤 Structural Firefighting Gloves — $150
🔥 Particulate-Blocking Hood — $200
That’s approximately $5,900 per firefighter, or nearly $47,200 for eight complete sets of protective equipment.
As a 100% volunteer fire company, our members give their time to serve and protect Freehold Township 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While the manpower is volunteer, the equipment required to safely perform the job represents a significant financial investment.
Eight new sets. Eight better-protected volunteer firefighters. One community investing in the people who answer the call. 🚒🇺🇸
Thank you for continuing to support the East Freehold Fire Company and the volunteers who proudly serve our community.

🚨 MUTUAL AID RESPONSE — MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP 🚨
This morning at approximately 3:02 AM, the East Freehold Fire Company was dispatched as part of a Mutual Aid Box Alarm into Manalapan Township (26-1), with a request for our Tower 16-2-90.
Upon arrival, our crew was assigned to assist with fire suppression operations, conducting an interior attack in the rear of the residence.
Our members worked alongside Manalapan Township firefighters and other mutual aid companies to bring the incident under control.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office.
We thank all of the firefighters and emergency personnel who responded and worked together throughout the early-morning incident.

For the first five years the members of our fire company raised all the money to support the fire company through donations and door to door fund raising drives.
In 1972 the members decided that it wasn’t feasible to go door to door for donations any longer, so they decided to ask the taxpayers of Freehold Township District #2 to allow the fire company to form the Board of Fire Commissioners. It was approved by a wide margin. So, in 1972 the Commissioners were formed to oversee fire protection for the people, buildings and property of Freehold Township Fire District #2.
