As the New Year begins, part of our reflection involves our expression of gratitude to the mutual aid fire and EMS companies who responded to two serious fires in Plainsboro in 2010 – the Dec. 28 fire on Ravens Crest Drive and the October 5 fire on Pheasant Hollow Drive – and provided support and coverage to us throughout the year.
We would like to thank our mutual aid companies from Cranbury, East Windsor, Kingston, Princeton, Princeton Junction, Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, Lawrenceville, Lawrence Road, Applegarth, Central Monroe and West Windsor for their prompt and professional response to these serious fires and to our other calls for backup and assistance throughout the year. We’re proud to fight fires and serve the public beside you. We will be there for you whenever you need us.
We would also like to express our thanks to the Plainsboro Rescue Squad and Plainsboro Township EMS for providing emergency medical assistance and rehabilitation services on the fire ground as well as coordinating the mutual aid EMS companies who lent their support to our efforts.
We would also like to thank the Plainsboro Township Police Department, with whom we work closely on a daily basis, for their camaraderie and assistance at these and hundreds of other incidents to which we responded during the year.
Major incidents like this require a great deal of coordination and we would also like to acknowledge the work of the Mercer County Communications staff in ensuring that we had the resources we needed to do the job safely and efficiently. This is done in coordination with the Middlesex County Fire Marshall’s Fire Coordinator Division.
Many thanks to all of you.
Doug Vorp, Chief Robert Brown, President Plainsboro Fire Company
Chief should be returned to township post
To the editor:
In October I wrote a letter to the editor concerning the fact that the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office suspended Princeton Township Chief of Police Mark Emann and two of his subordinates.
The fact that the prosecutor’s office has not reached a final conclusion to the plight of Mark Emann in my opinion is an act if unfairness to Mr. Emann and the people of Princeton Township.
I sincerely hope that some day Chief of Police Mark Emann will be allowed to return to his role as the chief law enforcement office for Princeton Township.
