“When the pandemic started, my Dad, sister Brooke and I began making these wooden flags with the hope of being able to raise money for our local first responders. During these past two years, we have had the opportunity to raise 5,000 dollars along with donating multiple flags, such as the one pictured, to local volunteer fire departments. We look forward to continuing our fundraising efforts in the future. Please find us @flagsforcharity on facebook”

Oldwick Fire Company Wetdown for Squad – 24 and Utility 24

July 29, 2021 By Oldwick Fire House

On July 17, 2021, the Oldwick Fire Company and neighboring mutual aid companies shared an afternoon of camraderie with a wetdown for two new vehicles, a 2010 Pierce PUC Squad, and a 2020 Ford F550 Utility. Also scheduled was a barrel ‘fight’ in the field next door to the firehouse. Unfortunately lightning forced the postponement of the barrel fight.

The tradition dates back to the late 1800’s when fire departments used horses to pull a fire apparatus to fires. After fighting the fire, the crews would wash and ready the horses and the apparatus in preparation for the next call, then they would push the apparatus into the station’s bay. Seen below is neighboring Pottersville and Oldwick ‘washing’ the apparatus.
