ower 21 has been at work in Raritan Township since December.

Several fire departments from Hunterdon and Somerset counties, as well as from Pennsylvania, came to the celebration and were awarded trophies for best engine, tanker, ladder truck, antique truck and furthest traveled.

Tower 21 was dedicated when Raritan Township Fire Chief Steven Wetter smashed a bottle of champagne across the front bumper. Mayor Karen Gilbert and Deputy Mayor Michael Mangin were on hand to help with the dedication.

As is tradition, the new ladder truck was pushed into the fire house, which is a long standing tradition for the arrival of a new truck.

The driver of the fire truck was not injured. The female driver of the Altima and a child that had been a safety seat were taken to UPMC Jameson by Noga Ambulance.
