It's that time of the
year.... Santa Claus made his annual tour around the township with the
Princeton Junction Fire Company. With the help of fire trucks to
announce his arrival and his firefighter elves to hand out candy canes,
Santa rode through the streets of West Windsor joyfully exclaiming "Ho
Ho
Ho". All the
members of
the Princeton Junction Fire Company would like to wish everyone a very
Merry
Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year. |

Monday August 25th Princeton Junction and West Windsor Volunteer Fire
Fighters responded to a fully involved apartment fire at 305 Trinity
Court
in the Canal Pointe development. Initial reports were a fire on the
balcony
of the third floor. Chief 44 arrived on location reporting fire showing

scene
for several hours checking for extension and assisting with the
investigation.
