As a dedicated fire station, our mission extends beyond responding to fire alarms. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents by responding promptly to auto accidents, hazardous conditions, victim rescues, and a wide range of other emergencies.

Our department boasts a robust team of 93 members, including 31 officers, 60 firefighters, and 2 civilian staff. With 90 percent of our personnel assigned to fire suppression, we operate tirelessly in four shifts, 365 days a year, to ensure around-the-clock protection for our community.

Our Primary Goals:

- Fire Prevention: We strive to prevent fires from occurring through education and proactive measures.

Our department collaborates closely with the Teaneck Police Department and the Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps, enhancing our response to medical emergencies and improving the quality of life for our residents.

Fire Investigation Unit (FIU):

Under the guidance of the Chief of Department and the Fire Official, our FIU investigates all fires to determine their origin and cause. In cases of arson, we work in collaboration with local and state law enforcement agencies.

Fire Alarm System:

Teaneck is equipped with 315 strategically placed fire alarm boxes, designed to operate independently of the telephone system and private alarm companies, ensuring reliability even during power failures. These boxes are crucial for reporting fires, smoke conditions, medical emergencies, and more.
