Once again the issue of fire and EMS coverage in Tuckerton was brought to the public forum, with residents looking for reassurance.

The borough’s fire services have been covered by Little Egg Harbor Fire Districts 1 and 3, and its EMS services have been covered by Great Bay EMS. Those services, provided through a shared services agreement in November, offer Tuckerton temporary aid, since the Tuckerton Volunteer Fire Co. was ordered to shut down on June 9, 2022.
