November 16, 2025 — Full New Egypt Volunteer Fire Company reported that tanker 3918 participated in a regional water supply drill held at the Freehold Raceway Mall. The exercise brought together numerous fire departments and apparatus to practice coordinated large-volume water movement for potential high-demand incidents.
According to the company, all participating units worked together to achieve a sustained flow of approximately 4,200 gallons of water per minute, ultimately delivering a total of 247,000 gallons to the simulated fire scene. The drill allowed operators to refine tanker shuttle operations, relay pumping, and interagency communication.
The New Egypt Volunteer Fire Company stated that joint training of this scale strengthens operational readiness and improves the region’s ability to respond effectively to large or complex emergencies.
