Phillipsburg Emergency Squad

12/26/2025

We understand it’s the holiday season and times are stressful but this community is amazing and comes together when something bad happens to our own. Let’s rally around this family and help with what is needed. 💙

The Jackson family on N Main St Stewartsville were the unfortunate victims of an early morning house fire on this Christmas Day. While they were able to escape without injury, tragically they lost everything except the clothes on their back.

Beginning Saturday 12/27/25 the Emergency Squad will be a drop off point for any donations for this family of 5, that includes their 13 year old daughter.

This is what we know currently, they are in need of clothing and personal care items for;

1 Adult mens large
1 Adult mens medium
1 Adult female medium
2 Adult female x small

They also have 3 small dogs that they will need food & supplies for.

Please don’t leave any monetary donations in the bin. Please monitor for additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity during this difficult time..

Why are there so many emergency lights and roadside colors?

Regulations on LED colors used across different vehicle types vary from state to state. According to the Department of Justice, here are common use cases:

🔴 Red – The classic emergency color. Used by police, fire and EMS in most states.

🔵 Blue – Often paired with red, but in some states it’s all-blue. Volunteers (like firefighters/EMS) may also use it on personal vehicles.

⚪ White – Adds contrast and scene lighting. Never used alone - it’s always paired with another color.

🟠 Amber – The “caution” light. Think tow trucks, roadside crews or slow-moving vehicles. It signals yield, not stop.

🟢 Green – Marks fire command posts, emergency management and sometimes snowplows or utility trucks.

Utilizing proper LED colors and flash patterns on the road can improve responder and general motorist safety.
