The West Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department operates from one station headquartered at 6 Fairfield Avenue. Staffed by
an average of 60 members (whose volunteer status saves local taxpayers over a million dollars annually), the department
utilizes two 1500 gallon-per-minute pumper engines, one 106 foot aerial ladder truck, one 750 gallon per minute
mini-pumper and one utility/power/support vehicle. In addition to handling all fire emergencies, the firefighters
respond to hazardous material incidents, and a myriad of other calls for public assistance including support of other
public service agencies.
