Park Ridge Volunteer Fire Department

Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 PM, the Park Ridge Fire Department responded to reports of a fire in the wooded area behind Sulak Field. Upon arrival, units confirmed an active brush fire burning approximately 600 feet into the woods, requiring a coordinated effort to prevent further spread.

The crew from 47 Engine 2 made it to the area with water cans to slow the fire's progress. 47 Engine 1 and 47 Truck worked to stretch hose lines through the brush to establish a steady water supply, while the crew from 47 Rescue assisted with the extensive overhaul process.

Thanks to the hard work of all responding members, the fire was successfully contained and extinguished. All units were back in quarters after three hours of operation.

Park Ridge Boro You know you're from Park Ridge, New Jersey when.... Pascack Press Mayor Keith Misciagna

Today, we want to send a special Valentine’s message to the incredible wives and girlfriends of our members.

Thank you for your patience when dinner gets interrupted…
For understanding when the tones drop at the worst possible time…
For supporting late nights, missed plans, and holiday calls.

While our members answer the alarms, you answer the call at home and that sacrifice does not go unnoticed.

Behind every volunteer firefighter is a strong, supportive partner who makes it all possible. We appreciate you more than you know.

From our firehouse family to yours Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️🔥
