October 2006 WFD RESPONDS TO IRON HORSE RESTAURANT
10/17/06 - Units were requested to respond to the Iron Horse Restaurant on Washington Avenue for a report of an unknown burning odor. Using thermal imaging cameras, crews discovered an abnormal amount of heat radiating from behind a wall in the bar area. Firefighters determined that an electrical outlet had shorted out and was overheating. Crews disconnected the outlet and cut a hole in the wall to verify that there was no fire in the adjacent wall spaces. AND THE WINNER IS.....

Shawn Stewart and James Wexler were both presented with their NJSFA Exemption and the Firefighter of the year award went to James Mawdsley. A very special award was presented to the family of Ex-Chief Victor Butterfield Jr. Before Vic passed this year he reached a milestone that no other Westwood Firefighter has ever accomplished. With 65 years of service, he was the longest serving active member in the history of the Westwood Fire Department. Along with his 65 Year Service Award, members of Vic’s family were each presented with a framed department photo of him. Special thanks to Rich Wolfson for the slideshow presentation and photographing the event.
