Bruce Springsteen’s son joins Colts Neck Fire Department in New Jersey
Streets of fire? Firefighter Sam Springsteen, youngest son of the Boss, is on the case.
Springsteen, 20, graduated from the Monmouth County Fire Academy last week after completing 188 rigorous hours of training, officials said. He plans to join the Colts Neck Fire Department.
“#OurFamily Hero,” wrote his mom, E Street Band member Patti Scialfa, with a black-and-white Instagram photo of a smiling Sam in his helmet and gear.
Bruce Springsteen’s son Sam graduated from the Monmouth County Fire Academy on Jan. 15. The Boss was at the ceremony.
Scialfa and husband Bruce Springsteen both attended the Jan. 15 graduation ceremony.
“This is not an easy course,” Monmouth County Fire Marshal Henry Stryker III told the Asbury Park Press. “There’s a lot of physical stuff and a lot of book work.”
Dad famously wrote about the FDNY’s 9/11 heroes on his album “The Rising,” which also included a song titled “Into The Fire.”

Elizabeth, they’ll bring the water in via water tenders and they setup “porta” tanks which look like a swimming pool. Do a search on the web-site for NEWPORT Fire and you’ll see fires with the porta tanks being used and water tenders.

No hydrants means waiting for water from mutual/auto-aid (out of town) tankers/tenders. May have been something to look at prior to buying

Elizabeth, My suggest would be to go to the firehouse and ask the chief to come do a ” PrePlan ” of your house so that both you and the department would know before hand how they will handle an incident at your house. Good Luck.

I have just moved to Newport Township. My street doesnt seem to have firehydrants. I am worried about how the fire department would be able to be
effective as I have a long driveway.
