If it’s not fighting a fire (which Engine 32 did last night in South Orange), saving a workers life who was run over by a skid steer, assisting a resident with removing his drone from a tree or pulling a kitten out of HVAC Ductwork, we are also great at hanging mirrors, too! After investigating a commercial fire alarm activation, which was due to a water leak, members of Tower 31 assisted the business owner with hanging this mirror on the wall. There isn’t much we don’t do. Quite a bargain for a Fire Department that only costs less than 5% of your tax bill. Call us anytime for anything you need! We are open 24/7/365. Stay cool!! ...

Another example of the, “We never know what kind of calls await us”. Yesterday afternoon the 1st Platoon was summoned to assist a Maplewood Resident whose drone had gotten caught in some trees. As is always the case, we resolved the situation without issue. Not our typical call, but another example of how varied our services and capabilities are. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you Maplewood Fire Department for your help! This was all done in a matter of minutes and very much appreciated! We will he making a donation to the FMBA for your assistance! Maplewood is in great hands with you all!

I hope I am not out of bounds. But why is it that townspeople call the first responders, those who are entrusted with keeping us safe as their goal for these kinds of issues? Is it because they do not want to spend money going to private companies. Impact: it gives the township the idea that there are more than abundant people resources in the safety departments: police, Fire and EMS. It causes potential issues at township budget time when they have to decide on how much budget allocate to the first responder/safety departments. It causes me to contribute a few cents too because the time spent by the firefighters saving a cat or retrieving a drone is time charged to the budget they receive from the township. I am a senior. Property tax is a regressive tax and the towns in the area are trying very hard to make living here meet certain standards. Too many people fly to Florida as they get older or go elsewhere then kids go to college.

Around 2200hrs last evening Maplewood Engine 32, 4th Platoon, assisted at a structure fire in Irvington. Crews were able to keep the bulk of the fire in check. ... See MoreSee Less
