Pomona Volunteer Fire Company dedicated its new firehouse Saturday.
The festivities kicked off with a parade from Richard Stockton College's north parking lot south to Pomona Road and the White Horse Pike in Galloway Township. The building is located on Dante Avenue and the White Horse Pike - and many locals, including local politicians attended the afternoon ceremony.
Marion Leatherberry, of Galloway Township, talked with Congressman Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd, before the ceremony, while Mayor Tom Bassford hobnobbed with state Sen. Jim Whelan, D-Atlantic.
But politicians weren't the only people in attendance - families lined up to watch the parade, and firefighters dressed in their best blues. Even a row of trophies seemed to stand at attention. Firefighter Jack Hewitt, meanwhile, was all business, guiding fire engines backing up to the new station.
