Liberty Corner Fire Company Parade Supporters September 26, 2010

The Members of the Liberty Corner Fire Company would like to thank all the parade participants who helped us celebrate our 100th Anniversary. We would also like to thank our families, friends, neighbors and the residents of Bernards Township who came out to support us as we marched down Church Street from the Liberty Corner flagpole to the Liberty Corner firehouse and Firemen's Field. Your praise and your cheers touched each and every one of us. After the parade, we took great pleasure in watching our community fill our nine-acre field for our Firemen's Fair. It was a picture-perfect day as people of all ages enjoyed food, music and amusement rides.

Liberty Corner Fire Company Mourns Passing of Firefighter James "Jim" Farley July 26, 2010

With great sadness, the Liberty Corner Fire Company announces the passing of Firefighter James "Jim" Farley. Jim passed away at home early Sunday, July 25, surrounded by his family.

Jim joined the fire company in 2003, serving as firefighter and trustee. He served the last three years as head trustee. Jim was proud to have been a firefighter with his daughter Hilary and his son Brendan, who continues as a firefighter today.

Jim is survived by his wife, Eileen and their four children: Hilary, Brendan, Julia, and Neil. He was more than a firefighter and trustee; he was a friend and brother to everyone with whom he volunteered. His positive attitude and upbeat personality will be missed.

Garage Fire - 33 Meeker Rd. April 12, 2010

On Monday, April 12, 2010, Liberty Corner Fire Company and Basking Ridge Fire Co. were dispatched to 33 Meeker Road for a garage fire. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered a large detached residential garage fully involved in fire. Firefighters had the fire under control within approximately fifteen minutes.

Liberty Corner Fire Company Hosts Extrication Drill March 30, 2010

On Saturday, March 20, the Liberty Corner Fire Company hosted an extrication exercise with its surrounding fire companies. Participating in the drill were the Bernardsville Fire Department, Basking Ridge Fire Company, No. 1, the Peapack-Gladstone Fire Department, and the Far Hills-Bedminster Fire Department.

The object of the drill was for these neighboring departments to familiarize each other with the equipment available for mutual aid. Each department then demonstrated an aspect of an extrication. It was a tremendous learning experience for all involved and gave the members an opportunity to hone their skills.

Standing by at the drill was the Liberty Corner First Aid Squad. The cars used were donated by Somerset Hills Towing, which had personnel available throughout the drill, to maneuver the cars into position and to remove them at the end of the drill.

Water Rescue - Pleasant Valley Park March 13, 2010

On Saturday evening, March 13, 2010 the Liberty Corner Fire Company was dispatched to a reported car with three occupants into the pond at Pleasant Valley Park in Bernards Township. Upon arrival at the scene, Chief Pete Aprahamian determined that the auto was not in the pond, but was disabled in a fast-running stream. In that park, the main road goes across a stream bed which normally runs as a trickle. Chief Aprahamian ordered that Liberty Corner's new Pierce 100 foot tower ladder be the first due. Upon arrival, the tower ladder, driven by Firefighter Chuck Pisano, was backed up to the stream, and two firefighters, including Firefighter Mike LaCosta, positioned the bucket at the car and extricated the teenage driver and two younger children through a window, after the occupants donned life jackets. Other than the children being frightened and cold, there were no injuries. The scene was then turned over to the Bernards Township Police Department.
