Freehold borough volunteer firefighters will surely be dancing in the dark after rumors that they’ll be relocated to make way for a planned Bruce Springsteen museum proved to be untrue, reports app.com.

Borough officials say that the department will not be moved—its 49 W. Main St. station has served as the borough hall, the police station, and department headquarters since 1919—until it has a new home.

The facility has become cramped and outdated, according to the report, and, to preserve its historic nature, the borough last year reached out to the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University to create a museum for The Boss.

Tentative plans call for the new fire station to be built in the same area as its predecessor, and officials say they hope to break ground in early 2023 and finished the same year. Museum officials estimate the Springsteen museum will open in mid-2024.

Everybody needs a place to rest!

The Torrington Fire Department has announced a push-in ceremony at Station 1 for Tower 1 on Friday at 6 p.m.

All are invited to attend.

The department says on Facebook that some residents have asked why the department needs a new fire truck. The department responded in a multi-part series. See all the responses below.
