Our members will, where they can, make minor repairs or help get a proper contractor to do the job for them. Sometimes the only help we can offer is to visit and listen. This is very important among our retired members so that they do not feel forgotten. Through the Woodbury Firemen's Relief Association some financial help is available. The families are still welcomed around the firehouse and other company functions.
Fire fighters the world over have another tradition.
Every fire fighter knows that should he perish in a fire that he will be given a hero's funeral. This is just as much to show support to the family and the other surviving fire fighters as it is to honor a brother fire fighter From that day on the family will have the support of any and all fire fighters. The fire started in the basement of a house. Jim Heenan and his partner entered the house to do a primary search when the floor collapsed. His partner was quickly rescued by other members of the first due fire companies from West Deptford.
