PRESS RELEASE

Hamilton Township Mayor Jeff Martin joined with State Senator Linda Greenstein, Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo, Assemblyman Daniel Benson, Council President Chuddy Whalen, Councilman Pat Papero, and Fire Chief Christopher Tozzi last week to announce the receipt of $1 million in State Budget funding for the purchase of a new ladder truck for the Hamilton Township Fire Division in order serve the community better.

The new ladder truck, funded partly by the State budget funding of $1 million, will replace a 2005 E-ONE Ladder truck with 106,000 miles on it. The 2005 truck will serve as a reserve vehicle as a backup to the ladder trucks in service. Over two years ago, Hamilton finally consolidated nine separate Fire Districts into 1 Municipal Fire Division. In that time, the township has seen how busy Hamilton’s Fire service is, especially its ladder trucks.
