Meet your Evesham Professional Firefighters! Firefighter/Inspector Rob McDonough. FF/I McDonough began his fire service experience in
1997 with the South Old Bridge Fire Department in Middlesex County. In addition to being a Firefighter, FF/I McDonough also served on the Hazmat Team and Special Services Unit. FF/I McDonough also worked for the Princeton Plasma Lab Fire Department as an Emergency Services Officer.
FF/I McDonough joined the fire service for the same reasons as many of us. As he puts it, “I could not see myself doing office work.” He enjoys the unscripted nature of the job and interacting with the public. FF/I McDonough has deep family roots in emergency services as well, beginning with his great grandfather who worked FDNY Engine 18 and unfortunately made the ultimate sacrifice in a Line Of Duty Death in 1918. His grandfather was assigned to Ladder 11 in Jersey City and his father was a Police Officer in Hudson County.
On top of working at Evesham Fire Rescue, Rob has worked at the Burlington County Emergency Services Training Center since 2013 as a Level 2 Fire Instructor. He continues to instruct many of the firefighters in our organization and many within the county. He is also a Deputy Marshal in Old Bridge Township and has been since 2007.
FF/I McDonough has worn many hats here at EFR. Rob was assigned to the training division for ten years and was the lead technician for annual hose testing for 3 years. He is currently in charge of ordering dry goods and other warehouse items.
FF/I McDonough is the fearless leader of Local 4687. He was the Local VP for 3 years prior to becoming our President and has held this office for the past 6 years. In his own words he states, “I’m very proud of the Local and the continued involvement from its membership.”
As you know, your Evesham Professional Firefighters stay educated for our community and FF/I McDonough is no exception to that. He holds a Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice from St. John’s University in New York City. He also holds many certifications including Firefighter 1 and 2, Uniform Construction Code Fire Protection Inspector for ICS and HHS, Fire Sub-Code Official, Hazmat Technician, WMD Specialist, Instructor Level 2, Fire Official, and he is a member of the Burlington County Urban Search and Rescue Team for both trench rescue and structural collapse.
Outside of work, FF/I McDonough enjoys spending time and going on vacation with his family, being a cat dad, and hanging out at his tiki bar.
Local 4687 is proud to have FF/I Rob McDonough both as a member and as the face of our union. Local 4687 can’t thank him enough for the things he has done for us as a whole. Local 4687 would like to wish him the best with the future of his career here at Evesham Fire Rescue! 70 Likes

Last evening, Evesham Fire Rescue took a moment to swear in their newest officers in the career ranks. Each of these officers has held their rank since before the pandemic, but because of the limitations on gathering, their swearing in ceremony was delayed until friends and family could be present to celebrate their achievement. The new officers include former IAFF Local 4687 Vice President Lieutenant Ryan Brinker, Lieutenant James Heisler, Lieutenant Ryan Pierson and Lieutenant Michael Merkowsky, who are all former members of IAFF 4687. The officers are now members of FMBA 115.
IAFF Local 4687 would like to take a moment to congratulate them and thank them for their contributions to our local during their tenure as members. Local 4687 wishes these great men a successful future and looks forward to working with these fine gentlemen as our officers. 7 Comments

Your Evesham Professional Firefighters participated in Rope 1 and Rope 2 classes during the months of May and June. These classes provide skills that allow us to immediately initiate rescue operations when summoned within the township. They also prepare us to assist countywide as a part of the Burlington County Technical Rescue Task Force. These skills include many high angle rescue techniques, such as pick off rescues, high lines, slack lines, anchoring tactics and rigging and implementation of mechanical advantage systems. Instruction was held both in a classroom setting, to learn the material; and in person at the Joint Base, for practical evolutions. We’d like to give a special thank you to our very own Matt Heston for organizing the class, and taking the time to educate our members and members from other departments and locals. We’d also like to give a special thanks to the Joint Base for allowing us to utilize their unique facilities, which provided many real world scenarios. 1 Comments

Local 4687 would like to take a minute to congratulate one of our former members, Scott Lanahan. On Thursday May 27th he graduated from a grueling 4 month fire academy! He recently departed Evesham Fire Rescue to take a job with Greenwich Fire Department in Connecticut. Scott attended college in the area, and found it fitting to return and pursue a full time career. Great job Scott, and good luck with your new endeavors. Local 1042 has gained a great new member! Congratulations to all the graduates from their class - “Experiment 67”. 3 Comments
