A special thank you to Mendham DPW for clearing the roads ahead of us, as well as Mendham Borough Police Department and Brookside Engine Company 1 for their assistance.

Teamwork makes the difference—even in the worst weather. ❄️🔥

❄️ Winter Storm Safety Reminders ❄️

With snow starting to fall, the Mendham Fire Department reminds residents to stay safe and limit travel when possible. As you prepare for the storm, please take a few minutes to help protect your home and your neighbors.

🚒 Clear fire hydrants near your home or business by shoveling at least 3 feet in all directions. During an emergency, every second counts, and a buried hydrant can delay firefighters when water is needed most.

🏠 Clear snow from furnace, dryer, and heater exhaust vents and pipes. Blocked vents can cause dangerous and potentially deadly carbon monoxide to build up inside your home.

⚡ Practice generator safety in the event of a power outage. Never run generators in garages or indoors, and stay away from any downed power lines.

🚗 Limit travel during the storm when possible and allow the DPW to safely plow and treat the streets.

We are ready to respond if needed. Thank you for helping us help you, and please stay safe during the storm.

After 23 years of service, the Mendham Fire Department proudly recognizes Rescue 5, our 2003 Pierce Dash Walk-Around, for its dedication to protecting our community.

Rescue 5 responded to motor vehicle accidents, CO alarms, and countless specialized incidents. Known as the “tool chest” of the department, it carried everything from extrication tools to rope, ice rescue, and overhaul equipment—giving our crews what they needed to handle complex emergencies safely and effectively.

From everyday calls to technical rescues, Rescue 5 was a vital resource for Mendham and surrounding communities. Thank you, Rescue 5, for 23 years of dependable service.
