On the evening of Thursday, December 29th, one of our own lost his home to a house fire in Surf City. Steven Helewa-Wolfgang, his fiancé Lisa Maiorano and their 18-month-old daughter Bella escaped unharmed but their home and all their belongings were lost. An overwhelming community response has left the family with plenty of baby items and clothing. They are very grateful for the generous donations but are asking now for gift cards or money in place of clothing or items.

VCI shows off our new 26-78 at the New Jersey League of Municipalities. 26-78 was removed from service in June and sent to VCI to be remounted on a brand new Ford E-450 chasis. We got her back in November, a seemingly brand new ambulance. We're happy to have 26-78 back and ready to take calls.

EMT Rhoads thought of her GTAS family when she applied for Cat Country 107.3's "Take The Cat To Work" contest. For her and her coworkers, EMT Rhoads won a catered meal and music all day at Station Two! Thanks EMT Rhoads!
