Members spent Thursday night getting our apparatus cleaned, polished, and ready for the annual Boonton Labor Day Parade.

It takes plenty of behind-the-scenes work to keep our trucks looking their best, and our members were happy to put in the time ahead of one of the area’s great Labor Day traditions. We’re looking forward to joining our neighboring departments and the Boonton community for the parade.

Keep an eye out for the Mount Tabor trucks along the route, and give our members a wave when you see us!

Last month, a few of our members attended a wetdown hosted by the Pequannock Township Fire Department.

Wetdowns are a long-standing fire service tradition celebrating new apparatus and bringing departments together for an afternoon of camaraderie, fire trucks, and, of course, plenty of water.

It was a great opportunity to spend time with fellow firefighters, check out some apparatus, and enjoy one of the traditions that makes the fire service community so special.

Thanks to the Pequannock Township Fire Department for having us. We had a great time and only got a little wet!

Members spent Thursday night getting everything cleaned up and ready for the annual Children’s Day parades and events in Mount Tabor.

Children’s Day is always a great tradition in our community, and we’re looking forward to being out there again this year. A little prep work goes a long way, and our members were happy to put in the time to make sure the trucks and equipment are ready for the weekend.

We hope to see everyone out enjoying the festivities!

Always a busy, but fun day for the department and our community! See everyone Saturday, and don’t miss the night parade which will have first responders from across the area!

The Mount Tabor Children's Day parade steps off at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8, and our own Denville String Band will be in the line of march. This year's theme is Big Top Tabor, and the Richardson History House opens for free tours that afternoon. Have you ever walked over to Tabor for Children's Day weekend? Full story in the comments.

Recently, members of the Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department completed our annual training with the Rescue Products International, Inc. Phoenix Escape System.

Led by several of our in-house instructors, the training gave experienced firefighters the opportunity to refresh and reinforce their skills while newer members learned the system from the ground up. Members worked through proper deployment, operation, and emergency escape techniques to build the confidence and muscle memory needed in a highstress situation.

This is training we complete every year and hope we never have to use. When it comes to firefighter safety, preparation cannot be left to chance.
