Drill Night: Vehicle Fire

For tonight’s drill Fire Company 1 went to the Bergen fire Academy to practice our skills with fighting a vehicle fire. This vehicle was one of the department’s old and out of service support vehicles, since this was a real vehicle and not a prop, we were able to simulate a situation that we may encounter. Think you would like to join us? Stop by Wednesday nights at 7:30 or email us at info@mfdco1.org

Busy Day For Mahwah Fire

At around 645 this Moring Mahwah Fire responded to Spruce Road for a report of smoke in a home. The first arriving units found a small fire in the utility room and quickly extinguished it. After overhauling the area and confirming that the fire was completely extinguished, firefighters began to return to quarters.  Later just before 4pm Recue 1 responded to Route 202 for a car accident with an entrapped occupant. After arriving on scene firefighters from Rescue 1 worked to extricate the occupant who then transported via helicopter to an area hospital.
