Visiting your site from the Philly area. I am the Grandson of Hugh B. Quigley Jr. - your Chief for the 1970 Officer Year. I visited Woodbridge quite often as a child with my grandmother living there until her passing in the early 2000s, and my Aunt still lives nearby in Colonia. Very happy to see that his Chief year photo is displayed in your historical section of the site!
I recently entered the Fire Service primarily as a Rescue Diver serving the Schuylkill River Valley, but have transitioned to Firefighting as well and expect to finish Interior and IFSAC NFPA Fire I next month.
The entire family shares in his Fire Service legacy maintaining mementos of his time with the Department including his Exempt Fireman's Certificate, Chief Stein, both of which I have, and many other items which are distributed throughout the family in NJ, PA, and GA.
Hoping to visit your Department soon with some of the items I have from his time running with Woodbridge and meet some of your Firefighters who share in the legacy.
Best regards,
Nick Jennings

Just thought I'd check this site out since my wife Wilma is the daughter of one of your past chiefs, Eldon Raison. I also have a soft spot for the fire service having been a past chief of the Windham Twp. Vol. Fire Dept. in Windham, PA and a volunteer at the City of Madison Fire Dept. in Madison, FL.

Thank you for visiting Lafayette Estates Elementary School earlier this week and for your open house. My son enjoyed both very much. Your demonstration int he trailer at your open house taught me how much my son did and did not know yet. Now I know what I need to work on to keep us all safe. Thank you for the information and all you do for us.

Our family has been supporters of the department since we moved to Woodbridge 18 years ago. I never knew all the responsibilities the WFD had until my son became a firefighter at District #1. Thank you for all you do and God Bless each one of you.

My siblings and I have been talking about family stories during this Thanksgiving and my oldest brother Jack, my Dad's name sake, recalled a memory that my dad had one of the early fire station radios/scanners in our home on Columbus Ave. He actually remembers the daily test message. I'm not sure if he really remembered it, but maybe someone reading this will recognize it.
"K-E-G Four Eighty Five, Woodbridge Fire Department testing to all home units. This is a test. One two three four five; five four three two one. End of test. Time: 6:05 PM."
My Dad was Jack Dunigan and served until 1967. I remember the radio in our home, but was to young to recall the test message as my brother did. Great work on your web Site.

I never got to meet my grandfather - Eldon L. Raison...your chief in 1940. He died in 1964 from a heart attack. He was on his way to fight a fire. I'm one of 37 grandchildren and the daughter of his 13th child...Wilma Jane Raison. (He had 14 children total).
I wish I could have met him, but I was born 3 years later!
