Dear Applicant:
New Jersey Statute 15:8-1.1a bars persons convicted of any Arson-related offense from service in a volunteer fire company. Furthermore, New Jersey Statute 15:8-1.1b bars persons convicted of transmitting a false public alarm from membership in a volunteer fire company for a period of ten (10) years from the date of the conviction. In light of this, for the safety and well-being of all parties concerned, and to help ensure the continued trust of the community that we serve and protect, it is essential for us to verify this information and to learn other pertinent information about all applicants desiring to become a member of a Fire District No. 1 organization. To accomplish this task, we ask that you provide the information requested herein. This information will form the basis of an official background check on all applicants, as authorized by Township of Ocean Ordinance #1617, adopted March 3, 1993.
