Your continued dedicated service to the residents of Hopatcong and our surrounding communities is greatly appreciated and has not gone unnoticed. Over the years we have shared the late night calls, early morning drills, daring rescues, and comradery at the firehouses.

From your brothers and sisters at Defiance Engine Co #3, thank you for 100 years and here's to many more! 🚒2️⃣🚒

Last night the members of Hopatcong Fire got together for training with ladders. Members practiced raising 24' ladders as a team or on their own. Aerial operations with Q159 were conducted as well to familiarize newer members with the controls and get comfortable climbing the 75' ladder with tools. Shout-out to Northwood Engine Company No. 2 for capturing some excellent pictures of what we accomplished last night.

Interested in becoming a firefighter? Stop by one of the Hopatcong Firehouses Thursday Nights at 7pm or Sundays at 9am!
