Our Committment to Our Neighbors

The Ho-Ho-Kus Fire Department, established over a century ago, was founded on a cornerstone of integrity, respect, and dedication. This time-honored tradition of neighbors helping neighbors is woven into our community and remains the underpinning of our volunteer organization today. It is that dedication that drives us to commit our time and focus to our community.

Across this year, in addition to the time served through incident response (represented in the data below), our dedicated firefighters volunteered an additional 2,009 hours of service for drills, training, equipment maintenance, and other department volunteer efforts in service to the community.
