Our mission is to provide the Borough of Allendale with Fire and Rescue services and provide support to the community. The Allendale Volunteer Fire Department is located at 1 Erie Plaza in Allendale, NJ. AVFD houses Engine 935, Engine 932, Truck 9 (941) and Rescue 9 (942). The department has about 50 active members and is 100% Volunteer. Each member goes through extensive firefighter training and certification. Some members are trained at a higher level in technical rescue, heavy vehicle extrication, hazmat, confined space, collapse, and even emergency medical services. Department membership is open to anyone living in the borough and surrounding towns over the age of 18 years (16 to 18 years for our Junior Dept.) and information about joining can be obtained by stopping by Fire Headquarters any Thursday evening between 7:30 and 9:00 PM.
