The dinner, to be held noon to 6 p.m. at the 1 Maple Ave. firehouse in the township, will benefit Trembler's family, according to a flyer posted on the fire company's Facebook page.
Trembler joined the fire company when he was 16 years old, fire Capt. Kenneth Buckholtz previously said. He also served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army from 2004 to 2014 and continued his service with an Army Reserve unit in Tatamy, according to his obituary.

"He was one of those kids always trying to learn and better himself," the fire captain said. "He always took direction well. That's hard to come by with young people today in volunteer service."
Trembler is survived by a wife and two children.
