About The Oldwick Volunteer Fire Company

The Oldwick Fire Company was founded in 1938 and is an all-volunteer company comprised of your neighbors. Sons serve alongside their fathers, and we have welcomed a third generation to our proud heritage of firefighting. The background and age of our volunteers is varied, but we all share a common bond in the desire to serve and protect our community. The firehouse is located just south of the village of Oldwick, at the cross roads of Route 517 and Route 523, in Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Our highly trained company of approximately thirty-five volunteers responds to emergencies both within Tewksbury Township and to the surrounding townships as a mutual aid force. We respond to structure, vehicle and brush fires, accidents, hazardous material events, floods and rescue situations. Our response area includes a section of heavily travelled Interstate 78. The company is also a member of the Hunterdon County Tender Task Force and Foam Task Force. The company responds with five pieces of apparatus: an engine, a pumper/tender, a tactical, a brush and a chief vehicle. To honor our history, we have retained an antique engine. The Oldwick Fire Company responds to over 100 calls per year in addition to conducting routine training both in-house and with the mutual aid forces.

Oldwick Fire Company – Drone Program

by

Oldwick fire and other countywide officials are researching what the benefits, use cases, and other operational needs / requirements of starting a drone program.  In April, our membership approved and created a drone exploratory committee. We are currently applying for grants/funding and putting together, SOG (standard operating guidelines) use cases based on NFPA 2400 and FAA Part 107 regulations.  We welcome interested individuals to help build this program. 

Recently, drone lead coordinator Steve Timko attend a UAS skill training class at the Millstone Valley Fire Department. We learned how drones can help find missing victims, preplanning, enhance safety, among delivery supplies to folks in distress. Our team is planning to attend additional sessions to be hosted by Homeland Security in utilizing drones for disaster management and more. 

Water Operations Drill at the Oldwick Fire Company

by

On June 17, 2019, members of Lebanon Boro Fire Company, Pottersville Fire Company, Whitehouse Rescue and the Oldwick Fire Company held a friendly competition via the newly erected barrel. Teams practice hose handling and water operations by aiming the hose stream at the red suspended barrel. The team that pushes the barrel to the opposing side wins. All firefighters received a good workout and a cool down on a hot day. The barrel is located just south of the fire house on Route 523.

80th Anniversary Thank You

by

On behalf of the entire membership of the Oldwick Fire Company, thank you Tewksbury for your support. We hope that all who were able to make it, took a break from the cold winter and had a good time. While the books haven’t closed, we did turn a profit, which will be used for equipment repair, maintenance and replacement as well as operational expenses. Many thanks to our tireless committee.
