The North Haledon Fire Department was founded in 1921 and is an all-volunteer emergency services organization. The department operates with three engines, a quint and a 6x6 emergency utility vehicle.

From The Chief

Chief Andrew J. Ricciardi 

“Pierce was able to accommodate our most extreme design needs, resulting in a PUC pumper/tanker that carries a ton of water with enough supply and attack hose to comply with ISO regulations. We still have plenty of room left over to carry rescue equipment."
