Dissolution of Keasbey Fire District Number Four
Summary
The township is moving to dissolve the Keasbey Fire District and fold it into the Fords Fire District, a process that requires state approval from the Local Finance Board. Keasbey fire officials argue the state's report justifying the change is outdated and doesn't reflect the district's current staffing and capabilities. Residents will have a chance to weigh in at a public hearing on July 14.

Impact analysis
Consolidating the two fire districts would shift fire service costs and staffing into a single larger district — the full financial effect isn't spelled out yet.
Potentially Fords district taxpayers if consolidation trims duplicate overhead, and residents of both areas through coordinated coverage.
Keasbey fire district officials say the district and its firefighters — who argue their capabilities were misrepresented — would lose local control.
