Greetings, and Welcome to the website of the OLD BRIDGE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT SERVING EAST BRUNSWICK FIRE DISTRICT #1. People throughout the last forty years have wondered why we are called the Old Bridge Volunteer Fire Dept. when we are located in East Brunswick Township, N.J. The original "Old Bridge", New Jersey was always a part of East Brunswick Township. The geographic area known as "Old Bridge" also included a small part of Sayreville and a vast area of what was formerly known as Madison Township, N.J. Residents from East Brunswick petitioned for a change to unify all of East Brunswick's geographic area under the East Brunswick Zip Code. The ballot question for the Old Bridge section of East Brunswick passed. In addition to this, another ballot question was put up in Madison Township shortly after, and residents voted to change the name of their town to the "Township of Old Bridge." This essentially left our fire company with its name in another town. In anticipation of this, we began adding "East Brunswick Twp." to the lettering scheme on all of our apparatus. Postal delivery for the residents of the Old Bridge area of East Brunswick was transferred to the East Brunswick Post Office. As time progressed and people moved in and out of the area, the original area known as "Old Bridge" seemed to have lost its identity both geographically and in name. Though many of the lifelong residents of the Old Bridge Village are gone, there are still a few who fiercely defend the claim to being the original "Old Bridge, N.J." We are the fire company that was organized in the original geographic area known as Old Bridge, New Jersey, in 1906. Despite attempts by a few of our members to change the name of our fire company, we have remained the "Old Bridge Volunteer Fire Department," East Brunswick Fire District #1. The people who know of us, know where we come from and know what the Old Bridge Volunteer Fire Company has been for over one hundred years; one of the best fire fighting forces in Middlesex County with some of the greatest fire fighters you could ask for. Members both past and present are some of the hardest working, and progressive people you will ever meet as volunteers. For those of you who visit this site, who are life members, inactive members, former members, or family members of the same, we wish to thank you for your sacrifices in the continued success of this fire company. The hard work through the years, put in by ALL of the people who made this such a worthwhile endeavor, will never be forgotten. For the citizens of East Brunswick Fire District #1 we would like to thank you for all of your support, contributions, and loyalty to the Old Bridge Volunteer Fire Company. We, the members, are dedicated volunteers committed to providing you with the best services and educated members to ensure you live and work in a safe community. Welcome again, and enjoy!

First on scene was Engine 706 which reported a light smoke condition showing from the structure. Assistant Chief 750 arrived and took command of the scene. The fire was contained to a small section of the basement and was quickly put out by crews on scene.
