The Saddle River Fire Department and Association are comprised of approximately 50 members and are 100% volunteer. While the Fire Department answers calls for emergency service needs, the Fire Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is responsible for the financial support of its Members. Your volunteer fire department is a highly trained team of firefighters who work hard to protect the lives and property of Saddle River. The volunteer aspect of the department helps keep taxes low and property values high.

What makes a successful volunteer fire department?

 Your support will continue improvements to the organization. The members of the Saddle River Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank you for your support.  It is our privilege and honor to serve the community of Saddle River.
