2004
In 2004 the township Haz-Mat Team was disbanded in October of that year for lack of support from the districts, lack of calls and lack of response from the members. The team was in service for eighteen years to give support to the township working with the County Haz-Mat team. The Haz-Mat team covered the whole township except for fire district #1, because of a union issue. The Woodbridge career fire fighters were in the same union as the county haz-mat team.
