The annual NJ State Firemen's Convention was held from the 17th until the 20th in Wildwood, and was attended by many of Allendale's firefighters and their families. The "stayback crew" were kept busy for the duration of the the weekend thanks to their agreement to assist Ramsey FD with all calls between the 2 towns.

Starting on the 16th, Engine 932 and Chief 930 responded to an alarm activation on Brookside Ave caused by unattended cooking. A report was fielded by the engine officer and all units became available thereafter.

On the 17th AFD were dispatched to 3 calls. Engine 932 responded to the Holiday Inn Express in Ramsey to assist in a fire alarm investigation. Fire crews determined a dusty head was at fault and went back in service. While returning to headquarters, Ramsey Assistant Chief J. Dougherty witnessed a wayward car hop a curb and plow right into the Dunkin Donuts building on Franklin Turnpike. The impact caused the gas line feeding the building to rupture, creating a major gas leak. Chief Dougherty requested all returning units from aforementioned fire alarm to respond in on a rush, struck a 2nd alarm for the incident and put PSE&G on a rush. Fire crews stabilized the immediate area, evacuated the building and parking lot while rerouting traffic away from the established "hot zone". PSE&G reps responded a short time later and temporarily stopped the leak until their reinforcements arrived to facilitate proper repairs. The incident was downsized a short time later.

Later during the evening, just after returning from drill, dispatch toned out AFD for a light fixture fire in a boiler room in the rear of Northern Highlands. Engine 932 and Ramsey Engine 431 both responded. Capt R. Shute (960) and Ramsey's Capt 470 handled command post duties while fire crews performed incident mitigation procedures. All crews were back in service within 30 minutes.

On Friday the 18th Ramsey FD was banged out for a burning odor at a residence in their jurisdiction. Engine 932 responded in on the automatic arrangement, but all responding apparatus were cancelled enroute by  Ramsey Command due to insufficient evidence of any such report.  Later the same day Engine 932 responded to a residence on Oxford Ct in Ramsey to assist with an alarm activation investigation. Crews performed a walk-through with the thermal imaging camera which yielded negative results. A report was taken and all crews returned to service inside 30 minutes. Finally, to complete the trifecta, Engine 935 handled yet another run to Ramsey for another fire alarm. Contractors working in a commercial structure created a dusty condition therefore setting off the alarm. Crews took a report upon confirmation of the cause and alarm reset and returned to service.

On Saturday the 19th an alarm at a commercial establishment on Route 17 in Ramsey was handled by Engine 932 and Ramsey FD units. A search of the structure yielded negative results and all units cleared from the scene a short time later.
