After skipping a generation, the Pullen family returned to Mercerville Fire Company in 2018.

Eric Pullen is following the family tradition, having just transferred to Hamilton Township Fire District No. 2, based at Mercerville Fire Company.

First in the line was great-great-grandfather David Pullen, a early member of Mercerville Chemical Volunteer Fire Company No. 1. Great-grandfather Leslie Pullen was chief for 24 years. Then there was grandfather Royce Pullen, Sr. as assistant chief, followed by a skipped generation.

Pullen started his firefighting career as a volunteer with Mission Fire Company of Bordentown for five years. He became a career firefighter with Bordentown Fire District 2–Derby Fire Company for five years, before transferring to Hamilton Township Fire District No. 2–Mercerville this year.
