It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Calvin Harrje.

Calvin was a Life Member of both the Washington Township Fire Department and the Hurffville Volunteer Fire Company. Over the years, he proudly served in multiple roles, including Lieutenant, Safety Officer, and Secretary Calvin was always stepping up when his department, community, or fellow firefighters needed him most.

In addition to his service with us, Calvin retired as a Shift Fire Chief from the Paulsboro Valero Refinery, where he continued to demonstrate his dedication to fire safety and leadership.

Calvin was more than just a firefighter—he was a friend, a mentor, and a genuinely kind and selfless person. His impact on those around him will not be forgotten, and his legacy of service will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Rest easy Calvin.

Proud!

It’s National Volunteer Week!

🚒 Our department is built on the strength of both dedicated Career Firefighters and Volunteer Firefighters, working side by side as one team. This partnership is at the heart of our mission to protect and serve the community.

Volunteering as a firefighter is no ordinary way to give back—it’s challenging, rewarding, and truly life-changing. From responding to emergencies to supporting public safety efforts, our volunteers play a vital role every single day. THANK YOU!

🔥🚒 Heads Up, Washington Township! 🚒🔥

It’s been dry. It’s been windy. And that’s the perfect recipe for BRUSH FIRES!

Area firefighters have been busy tackling fires that spread way too fast because of these conditions. But here’s the deal—YOU can help us prevent them!

✅ Skip the Burn –One gust of wind can turn a small flame into a wildfire!
✅ Douse It! – If you must have a fire, soak it with water until it’s completely cold before walking away.
✅ No Tossing Butts – Ci******es can smolder for hours before igniting dry grass. Use an ashtray, not the ground!
✅ Secure Equipment – Chains dragging from trailers or loose metal parts can spark fires on the road.

🔥 Remember: One Spark is All It Takes! 🔥

Let’s work together to keep Washington Township safe. If you see a fire, CALL 911 immediately.
