Bamber Lakes Fire Company Folds Into Forked River
LACEY, NJ — The Bamber Lakes Fire Company is being folded into the Forked River Fire Department, Lacey Township officials said.
Ordinances were introduced at a recent Township Committee meeting to delete reference to Bamber’s fire department in the township code.
The reason, as Mayor PeggySue Juliano stated at a previous meeting, was that Bamber didn’t have enough members to answer calls.

“We’ve basically done away with Bamber,” Juliano explained. The members that were at Bamber had their membership transferred to Forked River.
However, Bamber’s station at 2630 Lacey Road will not be going anywhere. It will serve as a substation for Forked River, Juliano said, with two trucks there.
