It decided in the mid sixties that a new Firehouse would be built using the money earned from "bingo".  The site selected was on Laurel Avenue behind the Leader building.  The house on this location was burned down at a drill.  Fire Companies from numerous towns were invited to this drill.  Included was Wanamasa Fire Company from Ocean Township in Monmouth County who brought their new Snorkel aerial platform.

In 1968, being impressed with Wanamasa’s Truck, a 75 foot Pitman Snorkel was purchased and delivered.  It was the first of it’s kind in Ocean County and it replaced the 1939 Ward LaFrance Ladder Truck.  Soon after it arrived it was used at the Van Note Lumberyard fire.  In addition, the Fire Company purchased a GMC Carryall for carrying personnel.

1972 saw the next apparatus arrival in the form of a Seagrave 1500 GPM Pumper.   This engine replaced the 1948 Ward LaFrance Pumper and is still in service today.

In 1975, an addition was put on the firehouse in the form of an entertainment room.

In 1979, a Chevrolet Suburban was purchased to replace the 1968 GMC Carryall.

The Fire Company celebrated it’s 75th Anniversary in 1982 with a party inviting all of it former members as well as Life Members.

1983 saw the arrival in the form of a Pierce/White 1000 GPM Pumper.  This engine replaced the 1959 “John Bean” High Pressure Fog Truck.

The late 1980’s saw several large fires including Jenkinson’s, the Ocean Bay Diner, a portion of the center of town, and Cicci’s Pizza.

A second hand 1977 Chevrolet / P & L Custom Body Ambulance was purchased about this time for use by the Fire Police.

By the late 1980’s, the 1968 Snorkel Truck was showing it’s age.  However, the aerial boom was still in good condition and had relatively few hours on it.  Therefore, in 1990 the aerial boom was remounted on a Pierce-Arrow chassis.  You may recall that the Fire Company’s first truck was also a Pierce-Arrow.  The new chassis featured a four-door cab with seating for six, a 1500 GPM pump, 300 gallon tank, and a diesel generator.  Ocean Fire Company had also received a new truck at this time and so a dual wetdown was held in Jenkinson’s north lot in May of 1991.  Over 200 trucks from all over New Jersey and other surrounding states attended this event.   The parade circled the entire town.

In 1992, a Chevrolet van was purchased to replace the 1980 Chevrolet Suburban.

The 1972 Seagrave received a face-lift in 1995, which included the newly adopted Black over Red paint scheme.  Aerostrip, Inc. of Medford, New Jersey performed the work.

In 1997, the Fire Company celebrated it’s 90th Anniversary by having a pig roast at the building.  Those invited included all old members, as well as the officers from Ocean Fire Company as well as the First Aid Squad.

By 1998 the 1977 Chevrolet/P&L Cutom Body Fire Police rig was showing its age and was sold.  As a replacement the company purchased a second hand Ford/P&L Custom Body Ambulance which was repainted in the current black over red scheme.

In 1999, after at least three years of planning and countless meetings it was decided to go ahead with replacing the 1982 Pierce / White 1000 GPM Pumper.  The new engine, a 2000 Dash 2000 1500 GPM Pumper was delivered on in late November of 2000.  This state of the art apparatus features items such as a fully enclosed climate controlled eight-man cab, a head set intercom system, roll-up doors, a hydraulic ladder rack, digital displays for the driver and pump operator, and a hydraulic generator.
