THE HISTORY OF THE
WESTWOOD FIRE DEPARTMENT
On February 10, 1894, a group of concerned citizens from
the borough organized themselves into a volunteer
firefighting unit known as Continental Hook and Ladder.
By 1910, the Continental Hook and Ladder Company had
seen the addition of two companies, whose members were
transfers from the Hook and Ladder itself. On April 24,
1909, the Borough Council approved the transfer of twenty
eight members of Continental Hook and Ladder to a newly
formed fire company, Westwood Hose Company No. 1.
Following the passage of a new fire ordinance in March,
1910, a second hose company, Continental Hose Company
No. 1, was formed on April 6, 1910. The twenty two
members of this new company were also Hook and Ladder
transfers. As a provision of the ordinance, Westwood Hose
Company was ordered to reorganize under the name of
Westwood Hose Company No. 2. The reorganization gave
the Westwood Fire Department the configuration that has
lasted to this day. The spring of that year also saw the
addition of "Prince and Belle" - a new team of black fire
horses (no record of a wetdown exists).
The original firehouse was torn down in 1928 and the land
turned over to the borough. At the site the town erected the
Municipal Building which housed the Police Department,
Municipal Court, and Fire Department.
Today, the Westwood Fire Department boasts over 70
members operating department equipment including: one
1998 Aerialscope/Spartan 95-foot tower ladder, a 1993
Swab/Mack 1500 gpm rear mounted pumper, a 1994
Swab/Mack 1500 gpm mid-ship pumper, and 2007 Rescue
1 rescue truck; fire inspector and chief's cars. The
Department has such modern-day cares as the high-rise
Westwood House senior citizen home, the Hackensack
Medical Center North at Pascack Valley, an expanding
business district and industrial park, as well as its
overwhelming concern for the residential community.
Donating thousands of hours per year, the Westwood Fire
Department continues to this day to display its proud and
unremitting dedication to duty, friendship and community
that began that fine day in February 1894.
