Edward S. Hyde rose through the Camden Police Department from patrolman to acting chief, served as a Camden County Freeholder, and died in 1930.

Former Assistant Fire Chief Samuel Buzine died at his Holly Beach summer home following a heat stroke, survived by son William Buzine and four daughters.

Four generations gather at a family reunion held by Assistant Fire Chief Samuel Buzine and his wife; the group includes Police Captain Edward Hyde, who married into the Buzine family.

With the Camden Fire Department spreading across the city, City Council's Fire Committee appointed additional firemen, naming one or two men from each of the twelve wards.

The Fire Committee of Camden City Council appointed a slate of new firemen — among them Martin Carrigan — ahead of the completion of the new fire house at Twelfth and Federal streets.

Meeting at the home of its ailing chairman, Dr. Frank Neall Robinson, the fire committee of Camden City Council recommended sixteen men — Martin Carrigan among them — for appointment to the Fire Department, drawn from wards throughout the city.

City Council's Fire Committee named eighteen new firemen — Martin Carrigan among them — sixteen of whom would not report for duty until the new fire house was ready the following July.
