Welcome to Highlands Fire Department
The Highlands Fire Department is an all Volunteer Organization that proudly protects an estimated 5,000 people living in an area of one square mile. Located in Highlands, NJ we operate out of one station that protects a primarily residential area. The department consists of 50 members, but is always looking to grow. The department was founded in 1900 and is composed of two companies Columbia Hose Company No. 1 & Star Hook and Ladder Company No. 2. We answer structure, brush, car and boat fire calls along with motor vehicle extrication.

Rain moves in overnight tonight
The heaviest rain falls during the day Friday, especially between roughly 10am and 5pm, before rain winds down in the evening. The heaviest amounts look to be roughly along and just south of the I-95 corridor where a Flood Watch is in effect.
A general 1 to 2 inches of rain can be expected with locally higher amounts possible. This will likely result in some urban and small stream flooding with more localized flash flooding also possible. In addition, rises on rivers can be expected with the potential for some points to exceed flood stage. However, this will be heavily dependent on where the heaviest rain sets up
We are currently in a flood watch until tomorrow night. Please make sure you are prepared and move your cars in flood prone areas of town.
This the 5PM weather brief from the national weather service for the forecast tonight, tomorrow. Still calling for 2-3 inches of rain and moderate coastal flooding tonight and a majority of the day tomorrow with gusty winds. please make plans if you are in flood prone areas of town.
High Tides for December 21st are 6:24 AM and 6:55 PM
If you are in a prone flooding area please take precautions and move your vehicle.

A coordinated fire attack breakdown. What does that mean to a citizen/taxpayer? Even city and county administrators need to understand why. What a
wow.... better too many than too few.... you just hope you don't need them all.
Because we have far too many anal retentive taxpayers who don’t want to keep their town safe, that’s why.
The Highlands Fire Department is happy to announce that the donated Fire Apparatus from Marlboro Fire District No 1 has been placed into service, known as 17-76. This apparatus will replace a 1984 Mack Pumper which has many deficiencies in serving the borough properly.
We greatly appreciate the support from Marlboro, the Borough Council and Administration along with the generous donations you have all made to our cause. THANK YOU!
Good luck to her! May she serve you well as she did us for so many years !
A good truck !!! Lots of life left in it !!
