WOODBRIDGE, N.J. — Township officials say Avenel-Colonia First Aid Squad put their emergency blue lights on hold while their headquarters became a temporary party house suitable for a red-light district.

In response, the squad — which was suspended last month by an executive order by Mayor John E. McCormac — launched a petition drive calling on officials to keep the organization in business.
