North Haledon Fire Department

The North Haledon Volunteer Fire Department is an all-volunteer emergency services organization that provides the residents of North Haledon, NJ with fire suppression and technical rescue services as well as fire prevention education. In addition, the NHFD provides services to surrounding communities, as needed through mutual aid agreements. Established in 1912, the NHFD has served the town of North Haledon for almost 100 years.

The members of the North Haledon fire department participate in one of the most diverse and challenging professions in existence. Imagine training to prepare yourself to deal with situations which range from fighting structure fires to cleaning up hazardous chemical spills to extricating victims involved in automobile accidents to handling almost any other imaginable

emergency situation. And remember to take into account that these skills may be called upon at any time of day, seven days a week, and in any kind of weather. Even though our department calls on its members to perform difficult, strenuous work, often in hazardous environments, their reward is not monetary, but comes instead from a sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that they are helping their community.

We are always looking for more volunteer members. No previous experience is necessary, and all training and equipment are provided at no cost.
