***BUSY NIGHT FOR FREEHOLD***

Last night, Freehold EMS provided standby coverage for the rescheduled Borough of Freehold fireworks at Freehold Raceway. Ambulances 1558, 1559, and 1561 were staffed along with our neighbors with Marlboro Emergency Medical Services 28-158 who were requested to assist with covering this popular event. Units operated for several hours without incident before being released. During this time ambulances 1557 & 1560 were on the road handling multiple routine 911 calls for service.

Later that evening, our agency was requested by Howell Police EMS as mutual aid into Howell Township for a motor vehicle accident. Ambulances 1557 & 1560 responded and assisted with the treatment/ transport of several patients to area hospitals.

While operating in Howell, we were dispatched into Freehold Township with East Freehold Fire Company and Freehold Township Ind. Fire Company #1
at Route 9 & Elton Adelphia Rd for a motor vehicle accident with several patients. Off duty volunteer personnel staffed ambulances 1558 & 1561 and handled the incident resulting in the transport of several patients to area hospitals.

On Wednesday, August 5th, BLS 1561 and the chief transferred to Neptune Township with our partners with Howell Police EMS to provide EMS coverage for the afternoon/ evening so our friends with Neptune Township EMS could attend the funeral services for their leader and a friend to many, Chief Bil Rosen.

Both Howell and Freehold EMS units covered several calls for service during the afternoon hours and also attended services for Chief Rosen along with countless others around the county and state who came to honor Bil’s service and legacy. Freehold EMS units operated in Neptune until 20:00 before turning operations back over to NTEMS.

Thank you to Neptune EMS and the NJEMSTF for your trust, friendship and for allowing us the honor and privilege of serving your community during this difficult time.

Freehold EMS, alongside our public safety partners around Monmouth County and the state, mourn the line-of-duty death of Neptune Township EMS Chief Bil Rosen. A respected leader, educator, mentor, and a very much needed advocate for first responder mental health. Bil was a close friend to Freehold EMS and many more in Monmouth County and beyond. We are grateful to have hosted Bil on many occasions for different training opportunities as well as working alongside him during large scale events and drills in his role as a Deputy County EMS Coordinator.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and his extended family with Neptune Township EMS, Shark River Hills First Aid Squad, Inc, Neptune Township Office of Emergency Management, and the NJ EMS Task Force.

Rest easy, Chief Rosen.

****3RD ALARM STRUCTURE FIRE****

Last night, at approximately 22:00 hours, Freehold EMS was requested on the initial dispatch, with East Freehold Fire Company and the Freehold Township Police Department into Freehold Township for a report of fire. Units arrived on the scene of a commercial warehouse with heavy fire conditions present prompting what eventually escalated to the 3rd alarm assignment bringing in fire suppression units from around the county.

On duty EMS personnel arrived on scene, and in coordination with incident command under a unified command structure, and our partners with the Monmouth County Fire Marshall's Office, strategically positioned EMS assets throughout the scene, established and provided EMS staffing for firefighter rehab and maintained additional units for routine 911 call response. To ensure the safety of all personnel on scene, mutual aid was requested from our neighbors with Marlboro Emergency Medical Services who assisted on scene with rehab for several hours. Thank you to our friends with Gordons Corner Fire Co for your prompt and professional response with your rehab unit in support of our operations. During the operation, FEMS units handled multiple other requests for service in town. EMS units on scene operated for approximately 14 hours before being released.

East Freehold Assistant Chief 16-2-67 retained command of the incident and Freehold EMS Deputy Chief 15-51 served as the EMS Branch Director.
