West Milford Fire Company #2 serves Route 23 and surrounding communities with volunteer courage and professional-grade response.
West Milford Fire Company #2 has been answering the call along NJ Route 23 in Newfoundland for generations. This is a company built by neighbors, staffed by neighbors, and funded by the community it protects. When a kitchen fire threatens a family on a winter night, or a brush fire creeps toward a subdivision off the highway, it is these volunteers who leave their dinner tables and job sites to respond.
The station at 2970 NJ-23 sits at a critical corridor in the Highlands region, where rural roads meet a major state highway and response times demand readiness around the clock. Members train continuously to handle structural fires, vehicle accidents, water rescues, and mutual aid calls alongside neighboring departments across West Milford Township.
With a perfect 5-star rating from the community it serves, this company earns its reputation not through advertising but through showing up, every single time. Becoming a volunteer or supporting the company through fundraising events is one of the most direct ways a resident can invest in the safety of this corner of Passaic County.
Fire suppression is the core mission, from residential structure fires to wildland and brush incidents common throughout the Highlands terrain. The company responds to motor vehicle accidents on NJ-23 and surrounding roads, providing extrication assistance and scene safety alongside EMS.
Beyond emergency response, the company offers community fire prevention education, smoke detector assistance for residents, and participation in local events that keep neighbors connected to the people protecting them. Members also respond to mutual aid requests from neighboring companies across West Milford and throughout Passaic County when large-scale incidents require additional resources.
Fundraising events throughout the year keep the apparatus and equipment current, and the department actively recruits new volunteer members, welcoming anyone willing to train and serve regardless of prior experience.
