Thank you from Keep Mullica Green

EVFC News

Yesterday's storms dumped torrential rains and toppled numerous trees, blocked roadways, cut off electricity, phone and cable service, and damaged township roads.

Fire department personnel cut fallen trees, placed traffic devices, stayed with fallen wires and assisted residents for several hours on Saturday and early Sunday morning. Their efforts came amid more traditional calls for service such as a house fire and extrication at a traffic accident scene.

Our fire and rescue personnel are a key component in Mullica's emergency management system, and these personnel perform their services without compensation. Keep Mullica Green wishes to thank our rescue and safety volunteers for their efforts during this destructive event. Your contributions are greatly appreciated by all.

"We want folks to be able to decorate a float or fire truck and attend all the parades in the region," said parade chairman John E. Lyons. "With a theme, people are often locked into the Hammonton parade only. We'd love to see people attend the parades in....Continue Reading
