As we celebrate and enjoy parades this Fourth of July, we also remember the 5th Anniversary of July 4, 2002. We reflect back and remember the courageous attempt and sacrifice that three brave local residents and firefighters made in an attempt to rescue three little girls who were trapped in their home that was consumed by fire. These three firefighters, Mount Ephraim Fire Chief Jim Sylvester, Mount Ephraim Deputy Fire Chief & Camden County Fire Marshal John D. West Sr., & Gloucester City Firefighter Tommy Stewart III. \”We Shall Never Forget…\”…….Bill Bates
On Wednesday, July 4, a Blue Mass in honor of fallen firefighters will be held at 10 AM at St. Mary\’s Roman Catholic Church, Monmouth and Atlantic Streets Gloucester City. The ceremony is sponsored by FMBA Locals 51 and 251. The public is invited to attend.
