The Dumont Fire Department has recently placed an order for a new Ladder Truck through Absolute Fire Protection Co. Inc.

This new E-ONE Ladder will be replacing an aging 2001 Pierce Ladder which has served the Borough for 25 Years.

The Department thanks elected and administrative officials from the Borough of Dumont, New Jersey for their efforts in working with members of the DFD to complete this purchase. A $525,000 grant was awarded to the Borough recently to help offset the cost of this apparatus.

Expected Delivery: 2028

This week, members of the Dumont Fire Department visited borough schools to speak with students about fire safety, prevention, and the importance of being prepared in a fire emergency.

This year’s theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” focuses on the importance of safely charging and using battery-powered devices to help prevent fires.

We thank our local schools for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to share these important lessons with students.

**Multiple Alarm Structure Fire** - 8/11/26

This afternoon just before 4 o'clock, Rescue 3 was dispatched into Demarest for a 2nd Alarm House Fire. Rescue 3 along with Chiefs 210 and 211 responded. Upon arrival, the Rescue assisted in stretching the first hose line into the building and assigned to primary search. Crews encountered heavy fire throughout the second floor and attic space. The fire eventually grew to multiple alarms bringing additional companies to the scene. The house was not occupied when the fire broke out, and still under investigation.

The Dumont Fire Department responded to several dozen storm related incidents overnight and into this morning.

Several streets throughout the borough remain impassable due to downed trees, utility poles, and power lines.

At this time, there is no estimated time of restoration from PSE&G for the full restoration of electrical service.

If you observe downed power lines, especially those that are arcing, sparking, or smoking or if a fallen tree has caused damage to a structure on your property, please contact the Dumont Police Department Dispatch Desk at 201-387-5000 for the Fire Dept. to respond. If there is an immediate danger to life or property, call 911.

Please avoid all downed wires, assume they are energized, and stay clear of affected areas while emergency crews continue their work.
