NEW FIRE CODE IN EFFECT AS OF APRIL 15, 2025:
The Division of Fire Safety announces new fire code regulations regarding the use of mulch around combustible building materials. These updates are designed to enhance safety and prevent fires, as we have seen numerous incidents where mulch has ignited and spread to buildings, resulting in property damage and injuries. The new fire code will take effect on April 15, 2025. While single-family homes are exempt from this code, we encourage homeowners to consider the placement of mulch beds in relation to their homes to create a safer defensible space during brush fire situations.

The Voorhees Township Fire Department honors the legacy of Life Member and Past Chief Officer Neal G. Hileman, who dedicated his life to serving and protecting the community. ![]()
Neal started his career in 1990 as a paramedic for Virtua and a volunteer firefighter for our department. He exemplified selflessness and commitment throughout his 34 years of service. His unwavering dedication to helping others is a testament to his character. Though he faced the challenges of developing cancer from his exposure to the toxic aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Neal’s spirit remains an inspiration for all of us. ![]()
As we remember his contributions, let us cherish the values he embodied and strive to carry them forward in our own lives. Please keep Neal’s family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.![]()
