Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department The Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department, Parsippany-Troy Hills Twp District #1. Fire Dept. Our mission is to protect Life and Property.

The Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department, Parsippany - Troy Hills Fire District #1 has been serving the citizens of Parsippany since June 11, 1910. During that time we have seen many changes, from using hand pulled and operated hose carts to the latest fire apparatus with the highest level of technology possible. Some of the services we provide are fire suppression, vehicle and train extrication, basic hazardous materials mitigation response, and Rapid Intervention Crews (RIC) for our neighboring departments. To keep current on our skills we train 3 days per month with extra days as necessary. To gain our certifications we use the Morris County Public Safety Officers Training Academy, Bergen County Fire Academy, as well as private companies that specialize in firefighter training. Our members have earned a wide variety of certifications including:


Firefighter Levels 1 and 2
Haz-Mat Levels 1 and 2
CPR for the Professional Rescuer
Incident Management (ICS & NIMS)
CBRNE/WMD Training
Strategy and Tactics
High Angle Rescue
Forcible Entry Techniques

The Mount Tabor Vol. currently has 49 active firefighters protecting the citizens of Parsippany. The fire department is run by a Chief, 1 Assistant Chief, 3 Captains, and 3 Lieutenants. These officers and the members operate 5 apparatus from 3 fire stations. Our oldest station is located in the Mount Tabor section of Parsippany and has a history dating back to 1910. Our headquarters station is located in the Sedgefield section of town on Route 53, and our newest station is located in the Powdermill section of town just off of Route 10. The fire department is governed by a 5 member Board of Fire Commissioners. This board is elected by the citizens of Fire District 1 at large for 3 year terms. This election occurs with the annual district budget vote which is open to all registered voters in the district. All personnel elected to the board are citizens of the fire district and membership in the department is not required to serve as a Commissioner.

OVER 500 SHIRT ORDERS AND COUNTING!

Our community has stepped up in a big way for the Donnelly family! We have received over 500 shirt orders in support of Courtney, Taylor, Grayson, and their growing family!

The response has been incredible, and we can’t wait to see everyone wearing their pink Mount Tabor Fire shirts in support of the Donnellys!

From everyone at the Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department, thank you for the incredible generosity and support you’ve shown the Donnelly family. When one of our own needs help, our community never fails to show up!

Last night, the Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department hosted a Building Shoring Awareness class as part of a joint training with multiple first responder agencies from across Parsippany.

Training like this gives responders the opportunity to build a better understanding of structural hazards, stabilization, and the role shoring can play during more complex rescue incidents. Bringing multiple agencies together also helps strengthen coordination and familiarity before we ever have to work side by side at a real emergency.

A big thank you to Rescue Products International, Inc. for coming out and instructing the class, and to all of the first responders who took the time to attend and train together.

On Friday, October 16, members of the Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department had the opportunity to visit the Head Start Center as we continue our Fire Safety Month outreach throughout local schools and community organizations.

Our members spent time talking with the children about fire safety, firefighters, our equipment, and what to do in an emergency. Visits like these are an important part of Fire Safety Month and give us the chance to help build good safety habits at an early age.

We also want to thank everyone at the Head Start Center for having us, especially on a drizzly day, and for the thoughtful artwork made for our members. We truly appreciate the warm welcome and enjoyed spending time with everyone.

We look forward to continuing our school and community visits throughout Fire Safety Month!

A big thank you to the Mount Tabor community for inviting us to be part of the Fall Festival on Saturday, October 17!

We were thrilled to attend, spend time with our neighbors, and bring Tower 11 out for everyone to see up close. Community events like this are always a great opportunity to connect outside of emergency calls, answer questions, and share a little more about the equipment and work that goes into serving our district.

Thank you again for having us. We’re always proud to be part of events that bring our community together!

Over the weekend of September 26–27, the nor’easter kept members of the Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department busy with a wide range of calls across the area.

Our volunteers responded to downed power lines, gas leaks, a motor vehicle accident involving a rollover, storm-related hazards, and a second-alarm structure fire in Dover, among other incidents.

Calls like these are a good reminder of how quickly conditions can change during a major storm. While many people were riding out the weather at home, our members were out helping neighbors, assisting other departments, and working alongside our mutual aid partners wherever we were needed.

We are proud of the time and effort our volunteers continue to give to this community, especially during long and demanding weather events.

WHEN ONE OF OUR OWN NEEDS HELP, WE SHOW UP!

Our fire family is rallying around the Donnellys as they navigate an unimaginable challenge. Courtney, the wife of longtime MTVFD member Taylor Donnelly, daughter of a life member of our department, and sister-in-law to one of our department’s officers, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

As they take on this incredibly difficult and unexpected journey, Taylor and Courtney are also preparing to welcome their baby girl in the coming months while raising their one-year-old son, Grayson.

If you know Courtney, you know she is someone who has always put others first. She has a heart for caring for others, showing up for those in need, and advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves. Now it’s our turn to show up for her.

We are selling shirts to support Courtney and her growing family, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Donnellys to help them through this difficult time. Every shirt purchased is a way to show your support, stand beside them, and remind them that they don’t have to face this alone.

ORDER YOUR SHIRT HERE:
https://www.MountTaborFD.com/breastcancer

Whether you purchase a shirt, share this post, or simply help spread the word, every bit of support makes a difference!

We will always show up for our own. Hug your loved ones a little tighter, and let’s show the Donnellys that their fire family and this community have their backs every step of the way.
