We were honored and very grateful for the generous donation of water and granola bars yesterday from the IMA Urgent Care of Shrewsbury. For years they have made sure that our firefighters have water, especially with the summer months upon us.

Yesterday, May 4, 2026 at approximately 2:15 PM, the Shrewsbury Hose Company No. 1 responded to a structure fire at 26 Thomas Avenue.

Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy fire on the A side of the residence and quickly went to work, deploying 1.5" and 2.5" handlines to bring the fire under control. Due to the swift and coordinated efforts of all responders, the incident was contained to the rear residence with no extension to neighboring homes and, most importantly, no injuries to any occupants or first responders.

We extend our sincere thanks to our mutual aid partners who responded and supported operations on scene, including the Shrewsbury Police Department, Shrewsbury First Aid Squad, Shrewsbury Borough Fire Marshal, Monmouth County Fire Marshal's Office, Monmouth County Fire Coordinators, Eatontown Fire Department, Wayside Fire Company, Oceanport Fire Department, Sea Bright Fire & Rescue, Glendola Fire Company, Fair Haven Fire Department, Red Bank Fire Department, and the American Red Cross.

We also want to recognize and thank the firefighter from Holmdel Fire & Rescue who stopped to assist in establishing a water supply on Patterson Avenue, providing critical suppression capacity to the C side of the structure.

Incidents like this highlight the strength of mutual aid and the dedication of our first responders. We are grateful for the teamwork, professionalism, and commitment to protecting our community.

🚒 Adopt a Hydrant – Help Keep Shrewsbury Safe

Many fire hydrants throughout the Borough remain partially or fully buried following the recent storm.

We’re asking residents and business owners to consider “adopting” a nearby hydrant and helping dig it out.

In the event of a fire, seconds matter. Clear access to hydrants allows our firefighters to connect quickly and protect lives and property without delay.

If you are able:
• Clear snow in a 3-foot radius around the hydrant
• Clear a direct path from the street to the hydrant
• Take care not to damage the hydrant

Your assistance makes a real difference in an emergency.

Thank you to everyone who continues to step up for our community. We appreciate your partnership in keeping Shrewsbury safe.
