Thank you for your continued support of our hoagie sales.

The Officers and Members of the Woolwich Fire Company announce with deep regret, the passing of Past Chief Phillip J. Mattson with 59 years of dedicated service.

"PJ" as he was affectionally known, joined the fire company in 1964 as a reserve member, soon becoming an active member in 1966. Chief Mattson served in many roles in the fire company including President, Assistant Treasurer, Trustee, Relief Representative and Trustee. PJ was drafted into the Army in 1968, completing his training in April of 1969 and serving in Vietnam for 1 year as a Combat Engineer. Chief Mattson also served in many Fire Officer roles including 1st and 2nd Assistant Chief, Fire Inspector, Fire Marshall, eventually becoming in Chief of the Fire Company in 1980. He would serve as chief from 1980 to 1989 and again from 1993 to 1995.

Anyone who knows Chief Mattson would say the same, tough on the fire grounds with a purpose but a dedicated family man and public servant. Chief Mattson used to say "Give me a booster line, high pressure, that's all we need to get the fire." It was PJ's way, for all the better. It was a privilege to have had this man and our friend be a part of something so important our community, including 14 years at Chief. Chief Mattson's absence has been felt deeply within the Fire Company, he will surely be missed.

โ€œAll men were created equal, then a few become firemen.โ€ โ€“ Unknown

Rest Easy Chief, we have it from here...

The members and officers of the Woolwich Fire Company join Gloucester County Emergency Management in congratulating Bill Ross on his hard earned retirement! You earned it!

The Ross family name and the fire company are synonymous with his 37 year career as a Public Safety Telecommunicator finishing as Captain of C Platoon. Although we wonโ€™t be able to hear him on the other side of the radio anymore, heโ€™ll be right there with us on the next run! See ya on the big one!

If your wondering why the photo of his locker, bill says he lost the key about 20 years ago and hasnโ€™t opened it since! Donโ€™t worry, he didnโ€™t have any expired snacks in there all those years.

Bill Ross currently serves as our Assistant Chief and has been a member since 1982, just over 40 years!
