When i visited New Jersey last year after our get together i visited both Matawan & Keyport Stations

One of the Firefighters injured yesterday was FF Jim Archibald who showed my around Matawan Fire Station. He came in from home and spent over an hour with me. He was injured when the wall collapsed and he fell from the Ladder Truck

Ive been told he was discharged from hospital this am - is beat up but will be ok

Really Great Guy. Wishing him and the 5 other FFs a Speedy Recovery

Pic below is Matawan Fire Stations 9/11 Memorial which they hand build. It contains a patch from every Company (& the names) of those lost on 9/11. Really Great piece of work
