History
By Richard Cheu – East Franklin Firefighter
The East Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Department officially began operations on July 29, 1929, but it had its beginnings much earlier in the minds of a group of men determined to provide better fire protection for the West New Brunswick area of New Jersey. The department began with 12 members; men like Joseph Godrey and Louis Katko Sr. All of the original 12 members are gone now but they are not forgotten for what they did for their neighbors and community.

Due to COVID-19 and current restrictions on indoor gatherings, we are only booking small gatherings of 45 people or less for 2020 at this time.
If you had a 2020 date and would like to wait and see if restrictions will be lifted, that is fine. If they are not lifted, we are refunding deposits or you can reschedule to a date next year. To receive your deposit back, please stop by any Thursday night between 7 PM-10 PM. To reschedule for a later date, e-mail [email protected]
