APFD and NTEMS have a mutual aid agreement for working fires where NTEMS covers the scene and city EMS calls. 34-3-56 staffed by Chief Rosen and Supervisor Kershaw worked the fire scene and 34-57 staffed by EMTs Giacchetti and Perez-Quintero answered an EMS call on ATKINS ave. Neptune maintained another ambulance staffed by EMTs Steven’s and Troy to cover township calls.

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) Update

The NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Fish and Wildlife have reported an active outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) commonly referred to as Avian Influenza or Bird Flu which is impacting birds throughout the State of New Jersey. The Bird Flu poses a relatively low risk to humans and domestic animals, but is highly pathogenic and typically fatal to all types of birds, both wild and farm/domestic. While instances of Bird Flu being transmitted to humans or domestic animals are rare and none have been reported in our area at this time, all are urged to keep themselves and domestic animals a safe distance away from dead birds. If you observe dead birds in Neptune Township, please contact the NTPD's non-emergency line at (732) 988-8000 and report the location. You should also submit a report via NJDEP's online form located here: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/749040214c974bb88c89c58483a51ab8
