BELMAR During its meeting on May 4, the Belmar borough council discussed the possibility of buying the building that formerly was the home of the Belmar First Aid Squad, which was the oldest volunteer first-aid squad in the country, dating back to 1927.
The First Aid Squad ceased operations on March 31 due to lack of funding and other operational issues. The building is currently listed for sale, and the First Aid Squad is currently accepting bids for the building and property, located on the corner of 9th Avenue and D Street.
According to Mayor Mark Walsifer, building a new first aid building would most likely cost more than buying the current building, so he feels that is something that the borough should look into.

BELMAR - From home plate at Memorial Field you can see the American flag fluttering in the distance, beyond the center field fence and across Main Street. Beneath the flag, at the corner of 13th Avenue, is the borough’s post office.
It’s a long, long way from the batter’s box.
You wonder: Did a man really hit a baseball that far?
“If you walk it off, it has to be one of the longest home runs hit anywhere, anytime,” said Spencer Heulitt, president of the Belmar Historical Society.
The hitter was Josh Gibson, a legendary slugger of the 1930s and 1940s known as “the Black Babe Ruth.” With Major League Baseball played by whites only, Gibson starred in the Negro leagues and on barnstorming tours. His Pittsburgh Crawfords team paid multiple visits to Memorial Field, which was part-time home to the rival New York Cubans and full-time home to the semipro Belmar Braves.
