The Officers and Members of the Woolwich Fire Company Announce with deep regret the passing of Contributing Member Amy Barber.
Amy was taken from us suddenly this past week, far too early. She was full of life and love and lived it to the fullest. Always around for a fundraiser or company event, especially Mario's Fight every year, supporting the fire company wherever she could. Always by her side, Past Chief Ed Barber Jr., her loving husband, her son Eddie currently serving as Assistant Chief. Amy was in some ways for a time, firehouse mom, supporting our family and her own alongside her fellow contributing members. For Amy, it was truly a family affair.
We are truly devastated by the loss of Amy, her presence will be missed, gone but not forgotten.
Please keep the Barber family in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

I am so very sorry for your devastating loss, Ed and family, and the entire WFD. Sending prayers for strength and peace at this time.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Barber family, and to the Woolwich fire co. Her 2nd family for their loss. It is reassuring to know she's at piece and at the right hand of the Big Chief who watches over his entire family of those in the fire service no matter how they serve she to will be looking down and smiling.
Sending my condolences to the Barber family, friends & all of her fellow firefighters 😥💓🙏🙏🙏🚒
Rip beautiful Amy. You will be missed. Your kindness shines on
Very sorry to hear. My condolences for the Barber family and prayers for all.
Thoughts and prayers for her family and friends may she Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with everyone
My thoughts and prayers are with the Barber family as well as everyone in the 25-1 family
Deepest sympathies
🙏🙏🙏🙏

With summer winding down and school around the corner, don’t forget we have opportunities for teenagers ages 14-17 that are interested in volunteering with our fire department! Becoming a junior firefighter is a great way to make new friends, learn skills and volunteering looks great for college! Once juniors turn 18, they can take the Firefighter I test and become an active firefighter.
To gain the experience of a lifetime and give back to our community volunteer with us by visiting www.woolwichfirefighter.org/contact/
See the attached information below. Looking for a great event. Stop by the Harrisonville Fire Company car shop next Wednesday evening.***Due to impending weather, the car show will be postponed until next Wednesday, August 17th***

NO HYDRANTS, NO PROBLEM
#ruralhitch #bigwater
Members from Your Fire Company this morning along with several of our mutual aid partners conducted a water supply drill covering the “Rural Hitch” concept. This method is designed to supply the fire scene with an uninterrupted 500-700 gallons of water per minute through the use of a jumbo 5” Siamese appliance.
About 60% of our primary response area is without fire hydrants meaning all of the water needed to fight the fire must be either transported on wheels or drafted from a static source nearby.
All training objectives were met today, and the crews operating sustained an uninterrupted approximate flow of water at 700 gallons per minute down range for 90 minutes. A total of 7 tenders and 2 engines carrying over 20,000 gallons of water participated in the training exercise.
We would like to thank the folks at US Drop Forge for allowing us to use the facility, Henry at Water Supply Innovations LLC for another great class and our mutual aid partners for taking the time on their Saturday morning: Harrisonville Fire Company, Logan Township Fire Department, East Greenwich Township Fire & Rescue, Harrison Township Fire District #1, Ferrell Vol Fire Co #1, Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company, And Reliance Fire Company.

Woolwich Fire, when you’re here, your family!
Tonight members gathered for a late 4th of July BBQ catered by Lapps Dutch Market. Our friends and partners from Salem County NJ Fire Academy staff page and neighboring mutual aid companies Harrisonville Fire Company and Logan Township Fire Department joined us for another fantastic quarterly member dinner!
Over 55 members in attendance! Sometimes taking a a few moments with the team over a cheeseburger and a Pepsi is all you need to make a difference.
Big Thanks to the Quarter House for extending the invite to our staff. Very nice event in thanking your dedicated personnel. 25 House continues to set the bar !! BE SAFE ALL.
Thank you to all that came out and attended our dinner tonight. It was great to see everyone enjoying the time off from all of the training and sitting and relaxing to some great food and conversation. You all have put in a lot of hard work these past few months and deserve this much need evening.
Excellent evening, thank you for the invite.
Thank you 25-1 for being there for us always.
