Glassboro firefighters have had a busy few months. We’ve been to multiple fires in our first due as well as in our mutual aid communities including Clayton, Harrison Twp, and Washington Twp.
Thank you for the service you guys provide ! Be safe !!
Thank you! Please be safe 🙏
Thank you and stay safe
THANK YOU 💙💙👨🚒👩🚒
Thank you!!!
In compliance with the below directive from the State Office of Emergency Management we will no longer be able to participate in drive by ceremonies. We’ve enjoyed celebrating with those we were able to, but in an effort to quicken the end of these unusual times we will comply with the guidance of the State and will no longer be participating in such events until it is deemed safe to do so.
This saddens me. In a time when our public servants are trying to help lighten the moments, to make a broad edict about this kind of celebration is just wrong. I think in all of this we need just a bit more common sense. I trust our department members know the right way to handle these situations. Bless you for the efforts you have put forth.
I hope everyone remembers this come election time.
The man has went too far. People must see this. Open your eyes. The people of New Jersey are being used as political ploys.
Communism is alive and well in New Jersey that is why I'm getting out ASAP. 😒
NOT LAW. An EO is far feom law. As much as they want us to believe otherwise... there has been no due process... merely a recommendation
Laws are enacted by legislature. These executive orders are not laws.

Last night Glassboro FD along with mutual aid companies operated on a working house fire in the first due. Crews arrived with fire throughout the first floor of a duplex. Thank you to our mutual aid companies for their assistance.
Late last night, Engine 2613 responded to District 10 (Washington Twp) on the working fire upgrade for two houses well involved. The engine operated for approximately 2 hours before being released by command. Volunteer crews remained in the Borough staffing units until 2613 returned.
