At approximately 18:15 yesterday, the Mt. Arlington Fire Department was dispatched for a reported Structure fire on Howard Blvd. Chief 1 and Chief 2 arrived on-scene to a 3 ½ story wood frame residence with heavy fire and smoke showing from the C side of the residence and immediately struck a 2nd alarm. We received confirmation that all occupants were evacuated from the residence. Picatinny Fire arrived on-scene and immediately stretched a line to the C side and had a good knock on the fire. Mt. Arlington Engine 5 crews arrived on scene and stretched two lines and made entry through the front door on the A side of the residence. Mutual aid companies worked alongside Mt. Arlington crews to extinguish the fire that spread throughout the residence. The bulk of the fire was knocked by 19:20. Great work by the Mt. Arlington Fire Department and all mutual aid companies.

Last night, the 200 Club of Morris County recognized our firefighters Christopher Merring, Arthur Scofield, Adrian Vargas, and 2nd Lieutenant Sean Whiteaker with the Meritorious Award for their extraordinary courage and professionalism during an ice rescue in February 2025.
We often say, “This is our job,” and it is. But answering the call under conditions like those goes beyond duty. It reflects character, courage, and a selfless commitment to placing others before oneself.
As my mentor, Chief Mike D’Arco, always said, “We are here to help those who cannot help themselves.” On that day, that principle was not just words; it was put into action.
Congratulations!!!
