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.
Research has revealed that 53% of children charge their phone or tablet either on their bed or under their pillow. This is can be extremely dangerous. The heat generated cannot dissipate and the charger will become hotter and hotter. The likely result is that the pillow/bed will catch fire –placing the child (as well as everyone else in the property) in great danger.
Think....where do you & your family charge your moblie phone?
Thank you to all our wonderful donors that came out to donate their blood last night, you just saved someone's life.
It is with deep regret that we advise Ex-Chief and Life Member, John Card has answered his last call while at his home in Florida.
He will be deeply missed and always remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
