  I would like for anyone that lives there to time them selves to see how long it takes to get from there to the fire house. For one thing I know there is a light at rt33 and Hickory Corner then another one at 130 and Hickory Corner and the lovely one at rt 130 and Dutch Neck. Well, you can make two right turns on the first two but well if you want to blow the third you will get a nice ticket in the mail for going through a red light for 85.00. I would think of using ti for something else. Anyway I think its about 5 to 7 mins or so and that is while driving 55 and then down to 35 on Dutch Neck. The law says the only one that can go through a red light is the United States Postal Service.. So, yes it dose take them a few extra mins to get on location because they are coming from home and not sitting at the fore house 24/7 like the paid crews are but they are all trained the same way no different.

  Wow I see alot of problems here. One thing is the second video shows a time stamp of 19:50 then it would be only 7:50 pm. The call came in at 12:59am. The first video only shows the back of the house so you cant see what is going on on the other side.. Gary correct me if I'm wrong but if 7 mins after the tones go off and there is no response from the fire house the county notifies the fire chief that there has been no response from your station would you like a retone? I don't think that happened being that it was toned out for a working structure and any of them having a scanner hearing the cops saying it fully involved they all would be going.In the second video I see squrt 42 with the master stream going and it looked like ladder 41 was on the other side. As to behind squrt 42 it looked like ladder 42 but I really could not see the name on the ladder. To have the fire out in 30mins is great and to the fact that no one got hurt. To think after all the trucks left and you all went to bed the fire fighters went back there stations and had to put all dry hose on the truck clean any tools that were used fill the air packs and clean the trucks before they could go back to there homes and back to bed.. How long do you think it took for all of this to happen. I bet about 2 to 3 hours and then they had to get up and go to there full time jobs. As to having a paid department we really don't need them because East Windsor and Hightstown I think cover the town just fine..
