A two vehicle MVA on Municipal Dr. was discovered by Rescue 1319 and Chief 1300 while returning to the station from the Township garage area. A Verizon truck and a pickup came together and hit a pole bringing phone and cable tv wires down on the roadway.  There were no injuries and the roadway was quickly re-opened to normal traffic.

While crews were setting up for National Night Out they were alerted to the area of Bridge Rd. and Eayrestown for an overturned vehicle. Quickly enroute was Chief 1300, Engine 1311, Rescue 1319. Upon arrival crews secured the vehicle and fluids were contained quickly before running into the creek.

National Night Out was a big success once again with township public works on display and all emergency services from Lumberton, Tabernacle, Eastampton, and Princeton Bristol Myers Squibb showing their apparatus off. NJSP South Star landed in the field to show the public their medivac helicopter. The night was concluded by a joint effort of vehicle extrication by Station 131 and Station 139.

   At 14:07 stations 139 and 131 were dispatched for a 2 vehicle MVA at Main St. and Fostertown Rd. 1391, 1393, EMS 13responded and received assistance from district 39 EMS. Engine 1311,  Rescue 1319 Chief 1300 and AC 1302 also responded. 131 crews stabilized both vehicles and assisted with patient lifting. All units were available once both vehicles were removed from the scene.
