Camden Fire Department

Welcome to the Camden Fire Department, proudly serving the community from our location at 2500 Morgan Boulevard, Camden, New Jersey 08104. As the first career fire service in New Jersey and one of the oldest in the United States, our department has a rich history dating back to 1869. We were pioneers in transitioning to a fully paid career force and among the first in the nation to adopt a motorized fleet in 1916.

Our primary mission is to enhance the quality of life in Camden through effective fire prevention and emergency response. We are dedicated to fire suppression, rescue services, emergency medical support, and mitigating special hazards that threaten public safety.
