On Saturday, October 30, members of the Oldwick Fire Company served hot dogs, hot chocolate and cider to trick or treaters in front of the old fire house on James Street. The fire company, with township approval, closed off sections of Oldwick to motor vehicle traffic for trick or treater safety. Current trustee, Dan Todd and past chief Jeff Hayes, man the grill.
At approximately 4:45 AM on August 8, 2015, the Oldwick Fire Company and surrounding mutual aid fire companies responded to report of a smoke condition on Hollow Brook Road. Upon arrival, the large home was fully involved. Water supply and terrain were large factors. The home was situated on a steep hill away from water supplies. The North County Tanker Task Force was alerted and a water shuttle was established with fill sites in Pottersville and at TES. During the fire, smoke was visible throughout the Township. Fire was contained to the structure and did not spread throughout the wooded area.
Mailboxes are taken for granted by many and are used primarily to receive mail from post office personnel. However, mailboxes are a key indicator to emergency response personnel within Tewksbury Township and within Hunterdon County.
The Hunterdon County 911 system will alert emergency response personnel, rescue and fire companies and note the location with the street address. A mailbox without a house number on it can cause valuable time to be lost during a response. Many mailboxes have numbers on one side and other properties have the number decoratively located on signs, rocks and fences, all of which can be overlooked especially in the dark.
