PHOTOS: NJ State Helicopter at Robertsville Fire Open House

Marlboro residents got an opportunity to climb in and out of fire trucks, ambulances and even catch a glimpse at the new NJ State Police Medavac Helicopter at the Robertsville Fire Department open house.

Robertsville Volunteer Fire Company opened its doors to the community on Saturday in honor of Fire Prevention Week. The day was complete with a visit from the new medavac helicopter and trained pilots and medavac first responders.

The helicopter, the largest of its kind in the state, can travel more than 175 mph and can reach Marlboro from Somerset County in 10 minutes.

Residents were able to see the landing and takeoff of the new chopper, and explore the inside.
