911 732-572-4323

The Highland Park Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1899. Firefighters respond to an average of 400 to 500 calls per year and supply all fire suppression for the borough and aid neighboring towns in major emergencies. The members also assist at motor vehicle accidents, downed electrical wires and water emergencies and supply fire prevention instruction to citizens. The fire department is managed by volunteer officers and firefighters and depends on support from the citizens of Highland Park.
