On Saturday, Jan. 18 from 4:30 to 7 p.m., join the Eagleswood Volunteer Fire Co. for a spaghetti benefit dinner for firefighter Stanley Tomporowski, who was hurt responding to the house fire in Loveladies last month. He sustained reportedly serious work-related injuries while operating an excavator in his capacity with Ocean County Public Works.

Fire Chief Keith Tindall said the company hopes for Tomporowski’s full recovery soon. “We miss having him around and count on his help,” Tindall said.
