Mendham Fire Department will celebrate its 107th year of volunteer community service in 2012. Once again with your assistance our volunteer firefighters have answered the call. Following an over 100-year tradition, your volunteers regularly interrupt their lives, leaving family, friends, and work to answer those in need of assistance. Your support is a strong signal that you value the service of our volunteers, and the significant tax savings of a volunteer department. We appreciate any donation you can make to help our department. Donations are tax deductible and the Fire Department is eligible for corporate matching gifts through “Mendham Independent Hook & Ladder Co.”
You can also show your support with a donation of time! As with all Volunteer emergency service organizations it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit new members. We have a real need for additional volunteers, particularly during the school year when many of our most valued members are away at college. Positions are available for anyone aged sixteen and up comprising varying degrees of training and commitment.
Please click here to donate online.
The Mendham Fire Department began serving the local community in 1905. Its membership has always been, and still is, comprised completely of volunteers from the local area. Civic-minded residents with a drive to go the extra distance when the alarm rings out have joined the roster and proudly become one of Mendham’s bravest.
