Fire truck purchase on ballot
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Tabernacle Sun
For Deputy Fire Chief John
Welling, getting a new fire truck
is a no-brainer.
This proposal is to add a
pumper, which will put us in com-
pliance with the ISO (insurance
services office, which rates fire
departments capabilities, such as
personnel, apparatus and other
things) study which indicated we
need three Class A pumpers for
the fire-flow requirements in Tab-
ernacle, Welling said. Current-
ly we have two engines.
According to Welling, this will
also provide Tabernacle the abili-
ty to place an engine in the new
emergency-services building on
New Road.
After which, almost all of our
residents will be within the five-
mile requirement to a recognized
fire station to receive homeown-
ers insurance reductions of up to
$300, he said.
Welling also said getting the
new, $659,000 pumper would not
increase taxes. In addition to the
pumper, various other equip-
ment, including breathing-air
bottles, a thermal-imaging cam-
era, radios, hand tools, hoses and
foam would also be purchased.
The first year payment in 2013
would be paid from funds in the
future capital outlay account. The
payments in 2014 and beyond
would be paid from retired debt.
The public will be able to vote
on the issue during the fire dis-
trict election on Feb. 18. In addi-
tion to the pumper question, resi-
dents will also vote on commis-
sioners and the departments an-
nual budget.
Curfew
goes
online
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Tabernacle Sun
A curfew banning minors
from being out between 10 p.m.
and 6 a.m. has been on the
books since 1968. So why did
the township just put it on its
website in December?
Tabernacle Township Ad-
ministrator Doug Cramer said
it was in response to a resi-
dents complaint after an erro-
neous report in another news-
paper that claimed Tabernacle
has no curfew for Mischief
Night.
There was no special cur-
few for Mischief Night, but
theres always been an exis-
tence of the 10 oclock curfew
since 1968, Cramer said.
He said he believes the cur-
few is a good way to help police
stem crime and mischief.
Whether theyre into mis-
chief or something more seri-
ous, thats a tool for them to
use to resolve the issue,
Cramer said.
State police Sgt. Marc Ficht-
ner said there are no signifi-
cant problems with curfew
scofflaws in Tabernacle.
We will enforce it if neces-
sary, he said, noting there has
never been a problem since he
started there in 2008.
Fichtner thinks the ordi-
nance helps parents keep tabs
on where their children are at

We make it simple, thorough, and easy to understand!
Welling said the need for anoth-
er pumper in Tabernacle is
greater than in other communi-
ties because there are no hy-
drants in Tabernacle.
In Tabernacle, we must bring
all of our firefighting water with
us, which requires Tabernacle
and other surrounding communi-
ties to have tanker trucks, he
said. In 2008, we demonstrated
our ability to flow over 2,400 gal-
lons of water a minute without
hydrants for two hours.
This was significant, as it led
to our ISO improvement from a
Class 9 to a Class 4.
Additionally, the use of Com-
pressed Air Foam System (CAFS)
triples the efficiency of water.
Therefore, for every one gallon of
water used with CAFS is like hav-
ing three gallons of water with-
out CAFS.
Compressed Air Foam System
has been an invaluable asset on
the ladder truck and to the public
we serve, Welling said. It im-
proves firefighter safety, im-
proves the efficiency of plain
water to extinguish fires by five to
seven times, it provides a faster
means of fire knockdown, it of-
fers a rapid reduction in heat, it
requires less water and it pro-
vides lighter and more manage-
able hose lines.
Most importantly, CAFS re-
duces damage and gets families
back in their homes faster after a
fire. Since Tabernacle has no fire
hydrants, CAFS is a must to ex-
tend our on-board water supply
and provide us with the most effi-
cient firefighting tool available.
The National Fire Protection
Association standard recom-
mends the replacement of first
line pumpers after 15 years of
service. Based on call volume,
Tabernacle typically replaces
pumpers after 20 years of service.
Last year, the Tabernacle Fire
Department responded to 333 in-
cidents. The top three causes of
fires here were careless cooking,
chimneys and carelessly discard-
ed smoking materials.

night.
In this day and age its a lot
different than it was in the 60s,
he said, noting kids can stay at
someone elses house but just
need to be off the streets.
While he said there are not
many problems with teenagers in
Tabernacle, there will always be
fights and bad behavior.
I think youre going to have
that no matter where you live,
Fichtner said. I think the curfew
is fine.
He said that if the township
had a problem with the curfew it
would have been repealed by now.
