Michael Black III Sworn In As SHFD Firefighter & EMT

Posted May 19th 2026

Michael G. Black III was sworn in as Stone Harbor’s newest career firefighter and EMT by Mayor Tim Carney on April 21, the logical next step in his life of public service.
Black, who already was serving with the Stone Harbor Fire Department but not on a full-time basis, has been a very active member of the New Jersey emergency community. He has volunteered with the Atlantic County Land Search & Rescue Team, the Dorothy Volunteer Fire Company in Weymouth Township, and the Milmay Volunteer Fire Company in Buena Vista Township.

He comes from a family of firefighters, with his father serving as the assistant fire chief at Milmay Volunteer Fire Company.
