As we look back on a quarter of a century since that dark morning, the memories and the loss still feel incredibly profound. Today, we pause to remember every single innocent life cut short on 9/11/01, the brave first responders who ran toward danger, and the many lives lost in the years of service that followed. We will never forget their names, their stories, or the unity that carried us through our darkest hours.

Last night the Chief and Deputy attended the Hunterdon County Commissioners Meeting at the Historic Court House in Flemington.
Hunterdon County commissioners have awarded $500,000 in grants to local fire and emergency medical services organizations to help cover the costs of equipment, safety gear and other operational needs.
West Amwell Fire Company was awarded $12,000 which will be used to purchase new Tri-band portable radios. With an increase in call volume and more mutual aid dispatches into Mercer and Bucks Counties, radio communications become a major safety concern. With this $12,000 from Hunterdon County grant and with a few other donations received over the last few years our radio purchasing project can begin.

The officers and members of the fire company would like to thank the Hunterdon County Commissioners for the support with this grant.

Friday, August 21st, was our annual fair standby and parking duty at the Hunterdon County 4-H and Agricultural Fair. Thirty members and friends assisted us by collecting money at the gate, parking thousands of cars, and handling fire emergencies on the busiest day of the fair, ending the night with the fireworks display. The weather held off and we had a beautiful weather day.

Members started Thursday night by shopping for lunch and dinner. On Friday morning, we started at 8:30 a.m. loading up the trucks and equipment to get ready for a long day ending after cleaning up at the firehouse after Midnight.

Members volunteered up to 16 hours from start to finish.
