For the first five years the members of our fire company raised all the money to support the fire company through donations and door to door fund raising drives.
In 1972 the members decided that it wasn't feasible to go door to door for donations any longer, so they decided to ask the taxpayers of Freehold Township District #2 to allow the fire company to form the Board of Fire Commissioners. It was approved by a wide margin. So in 1972 the Commissioners were formed to oversee fire protection for the people, buildings and property of FT District #2. The Board of Commissioners are a five (5) member group who are responsible for purchasing of apparatus, maintenance of apparatus, purchasing firefighting equipment for the trucks and gear for our members. They are also responsible for necessary insurance and firefighting training.
The Commissioners are public servants and are elected by vote every February. They are a dedicated group of five (5) that meet every 3rd Tuesday from April through September and every 2nd and 3rd Tuesday from October through March at the Main Station of the EFFC 191 Dutch Lane Road at 7:30PM
