Plainsboro fire company president and lieutenant Tom Healey was recently recognized for his 25 years of service. Healey was honored by his fellow volunteer firefighters at their June 3 meeting and was formally honored at the June 11 Plainsboro committee meeting.
Healey was inspired to become a firefighter when he would accompany his father, the former mayor of Kearny, when he responded to fires. His firefighting family also includes his grandfather, brother, and cousin.
Within the Plainsboro fire department Healey has previously served as vice president and safety officer. Since joining the department in 1989 he has secured more than $100,000 in donations from area businesses, assisted in the department’s purchase of new equipment, and led community programs, including the car washes used by many school groups for fundraising.
