In the quaint village of South Orange, it’s comforting to
know that the Village fire department’s motto is “We are here to serve and
protect you.” The Zeta Tau chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta will be hosting a card-making
station in the University Center's lobby to recognize the hard work of
the SOFD. Last year, the average number of reported residential building
fires on Thanksgiving Day was almost double (1.9 times more) the average number
of fires in residential buildings on all days other than Thanksgiving,
according to the USFA. Both cooking fires and heating fires are the most prevalent
on this family holiday. With the 13th anniversary of the tragic
Boland Hall fire approaching this January, Alpha Gamma Delta at Seton Hall
would like to recognize the South Orange Fire Department this November for
their dedication to protecting the town of South Orange, including our home at SHU. The goal of the South Orange Fire Force is to strive to reduce and completely
eliminate fire/emergency matters. The department achieves their goals through
educational programs and through inspections.
