Talk:Bridgewater Township Fire Department (New Jersey)

One big department vs. several smaller companies
Hi. One of the tricky issues with New Jersey is figuring out when to have one big FD page for an entire municipality versus individual pages for the different fire companies. More and more municipalities are consolidating their companies into one department. Bridgewater doesn't seem to be one of those places, so I made this a landing page and created separate articles for the different companies.

There are no hard and fast rules, but here I went by two things - the company names are more prominent on the trucks (if it says Bridgewater at all) and there's no indication that there's a single fire chief for the whole municipality. The fire page on the municipal site refers only to prevention.

Thanks for your many NJ edits. It's an area with lots of departments, so glad to see more of them getting entered. If you create a username, we can communicate better, since your IP address changes from time to time. Thanks. Uzbek (talk) 12:14, September 9, 2016 (UTC)
