Monmouth University Donates $250,000 To West Long Branch For New Fire Truck

Officials representing Monmouth University and West Long Branch recently got a closer look at the new borough fire truck at the university. 

Monmouth University and West Long Branch are sharing the cost of the $500,000 truck. The university has committed $250,000 in payments of $25,000 each year over the next ten years to help the borough pay for the truck.

The truck was specifically designed to be able to navigate through some narrow passageways on the Monmouth University campus so it can serve the university and the borough.

West Long Branch Mayor Janet Tucci, Councilman Fred Migliaccio, Councilman Chris Neyhart, Councilman Steve Cioffi, Councilman Jose Villa, Councilwoman Barbara Ruane and members of the West Long Branch Fire Department came to the campus on June 27 to show off the truck.

Monmouth University representatives President Paul G. Gaffney, Vice President for Administrative Services Patti Swannack, Vice President and General Counsel Grey Dimenna, Vice President for Student and Community Services Mary Anne Nagy, Director of Government and Community Relations Paul Dement were all on hand to view it as it was parked in front of Wilson Hall.
