It is with great honor that the West Long Branch Borough Chemical and Truck Company #1 welcome Victor Huhn, Jr. in as their chief in 2015. Victor Huhn Jr. carries on the family tradition as he is sworn in as the fourth generation of Huhn’s and the 5th generation in his family to become Chief of the department. Victor’s father Victor Huhn, Sr. (pictured) served as Chief in 1981, his grandfather Ralph Huhn Sr. served as Chief in 1957, his great grandfather Louis Huhn served as Chief in 1937 and his great-great grandfather William Poole served as Chief in 1919, but the tradition doesn’t stop there. When tracing Victor’s ancestry back you will find a total of 15 past Fire Chiefs in the West Long Branch Borough Chemical and Truck Company #1 with available records only dating back to 1909 and several other family members that were Firefighters and Chief's in the surrounding districts. That makes Victor Huhn, Jr the 16th member of his family to have the honor of serving as Fire Chief of the department and his son Tyler Huhn (pictured), a junior member and Mascot in the department now, is hoping to be the 17th. Victor Huhn, Jr has also been a Career Firefighter with the Department of Defense for over fifteen years and is currently serving as a Fire Captain at the Earle Naval Weapon Station. Congratulation Chief Huhn and good luck.
