The Mendham Township Fire Department is an entirely volunteer organization. The Department is comprised of two independent Fire Companies - Brookside Engine Company and Ralston Engine Companies. The volunteer firefighters who serve the community unselfishly contribute time and effort to fight fires and save lives in Mendham Township. They undertake regular training to maintain their skills and are on call 24 hours a day.
The Brookside and Ralston Companies are open to anyone over the age of 16. The Ralston Fire Company hosts a pancake breakfast every other month during the winter. Brookside hosts an annual clambake on the first or second Saturday in September, a Halloween party in October and Santa Claus in December. Anyone wishing to become a member or interested in more information about the Department should call 543-7213.
