BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT BUREAU OF FIRE PREVENTION
Event Date: June 16, 2026

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ — On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, Relief Fire Company No. 3 of the Burlington Township Fire Department partnered with the American Red Cross to host our annual Summer Blood Drive. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our local residents, the event was a massive success!

We had a phenomenal turnout, with over 30 incredible individuals rolling up their sleeves to donate life-saving blood. In times when blood supplies are historically low, our community showed up in a big way to prove that together, we are stronger.

The firehouse was full of positive energy, complete with handwritten thank-you cards from local students cheering on our donors, and plenty of post-donation snacks to keep everyone refueled. Every single donation has the potential to save up to three lives, meaning the impact of this single afternoon will ripple out to help dozens of patients facing medical emergencies, surgeries, and critical treatments.

A recap flyer highlighting moments from the day can be seen below.

What’s Next?

Because of this amazing response, we cannot wait to host the American Red Cross again for another drive supporting this vital cause.

We will keep the community posted across our website and social media channels as soon as the next date is locked in and registration links become available.

Thank You!

The Burlington Township Fire Department and the members of Relief Fire Company No. 3 extend our deepest gratitude to every donor, volunteer, and supporter who made this day possible. You are the true heroes!

Stay tuned to our website for upcoming department events, community outreach initiatives, and fire safety updates.

On June 6, 2026, the members of the Burlington Township Fire Department were proud to participate in the Rock the Block community event, and we had an incredible time connecting with residents and visitors throughout the day.

From fire truck tours and fire safety education to handing out informational materials and fun giveaways, the event provided a wonderful opportunity to engage with our community in a positive and meaningful way. We enjoyed meeting so many families, answering questions about fire safety, and sharing information about the services we provide to keep Burlington Township fire safe.

Community events like Rock the Block help strengthen the relationship between the fire department and the people we proudly serve. We are grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth, explored our apparatus, and spent time with our firefighters and fire prevention personnel.

Thank you to the event organizers for hosting such a fantastic community gathering and to all who attended. We look forward to seeing you again at future community events!
