The Silverton Fire Company’s main responsibility is the fire protection and prevention to our community as a whole. We have been and will be working hand in hand with the Toms River Fire District # 2, Silverton EMS, Toms River Police, Toms River CSOs and Toms River Office of Emergency Management and our neighboring fire companies. We will monitor the world events and update the amount of time to be more or less if needed and we also will face intense boredom while in quarantine but it has to be done. We are staying prepared for you. The next month will be tough for everyone, luckily together we're a community and will pull through it stronger than ever.

Our members recognize how these trying times will be affecting families, schools and our local stores, bars, restaurants and breweries. We thank you for your continued support and we along with you support our local businesses. Please stay safe, wash your hands, heed all precautions set forth by the medical profession and be well.

Friday 2/7/2020 TRFD Incident 2020-0170   71 15th Street - Fatal House Fire.

Not all days can be good days. We were dispatched to a late night fire and despite all of our best efforts one young mother didn't make it out. At this time there is to many supporting agencies to list but our members thank you for having our backs during and after this incident. The phone calls, texts and messages are all well appreciated. Our Dispatchers, TRPD, Silverton EMS, Toms RIVER CSO and our Ladies Auxiliary worked hard in a cold windy night with the help of many others. We battled flames and extreme weather conditions in a courageous and valiant effort. This is a tragic day for the Silverton Fire Company and the Silverton section of Toms River Township.
.
Our hearts are heavy this evening for this loss and we can't begin to imagine how devastated this family is.
