Join the Mountainside Volunteer Fire Department

The Mountainside Fire Department is ALWAYS accepting applications for new membership! Now, more than ever before, we need your help! Membership amongst volunteer fire departments nationwide is on a steep decline. Understaffed volunteer firehouses are an extremely dangerous risk to the community. To avoid this risk, we urge all willing and committed individuals to join us and give back to the community with one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have. The skills you will learn as a volunteer firefighter are invaluable. It may be easier to become a volunteer firefighter than you think!

What is the Next Step?

We invite ALL people interested in membership to stop by our firehouse on any Monday evening throughout the year (with the exception of federally observed holidays). Our firehouse is located at 210 New Providence Rd. in Mountainside, 07092. Every Monday evening we meet at 7:30PM for either a fire company business meeting, training exercise, or work period, where firehouse chores are completed.

To Volunteer, please complete the following form. You may also contact us via telephone at 908-233-1047. If there is no answer, we please ask that you leave a message, so either the Chief or Chief's officers can return your call.
