As 2025 begins, we would like to recognize the dedication and commitment shown by the volunteer firefighters of Company 1 throughout 2024. Our members responded to 436 calls for service both within Mahwah Township and surrounding communities.

This week Co.1 Firefighters took delivery of a bunker gear dryer which will work in conjunction with last year’s purchase of a gear washer. These allow our firefighters to routinely wash their gear removing dirt and cancer causing particulates. This is a big step forward with helping keep our volunteers safe and healthy. Thank you to the Township and Dept. Chiefs for providing these valuable items.

Today marked a pivotal moment for Fire Company 1 as we proudly welcomed our newest addition to the fleet, the state-of-the-art Rescue Tower, Tower-1. Our acquisition of a tower was made possible through our generous friends in the Fardale Fire District, who told us about the buy-one-get-one-free promotion they received when they purchased their new Tanker. Tower 1 will be fully staffed for responses in Cragmere District as well as the surrounding Township and communities, quite possibly making it the “busiest tower in town”. CragmereTruckin’
2023 is in the books and the Volunteer firefighters of Rescue Co.1 responded to 479 calls for service within the Township and also Mutual Aid to the surrounding area. Since our inception in 1914, this was a record setting year for responses out of Co.1 These calls not only represent each time we answered a call for service but also the countless hours our volunteers spent away from their families and nights of sleep lost. Additionally, not included in this tally is the hundreds of hours our members spent training to provide a high level of service each time we are dispatched.
