Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department

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.

Last week, four of our members participated in a joint training session with Parsippany Fire Districts 5 and 6, along with Parsippany Rescue & Recovery, focused on Trench Rescue Operations.

Trench rescue incidents are considered high-risk, low-frequency emergencies that can occur in any community. When these situations arise, having highly trained personnel and access to specialized rescue resources can make all the difference. Training opportunities like this help ensure our members are prepared to operate safely and effectively when called upon to assist.

We would like to thank Rescue Products International for providing this valuable training and helping our members continue to expand their skills and knowledge.

With spring finally here, it’s the perfect time for our members to get back outside and sharpen their skills. From attending community events, to hands-on training, to getting time behind the wheel of our apparatus, our members continue working on both basic and advanced firefighting skills to stay prepared for every call that comes in.

No matter the season, our goal stays the same: making sure our community can count on us every time the tones go off.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a firefighter, there’s no better time to get involved. Join a department that takes pride in training, teamwork, and serving the community.

After 10 long days and numerous surgeries, our friend and brother Anthony has finally been released from the hospital and is beginning his long road of rehabilitation.

We are beyond grateful that he is still with us and in the best of spirits. On Friday, we were proud to be there alongside his colleagues from the Parsippany DPW to give him the proper send-off he deserved.

Anthony still has a long recovery ahead, and we continue to wish him strength every step of the way. We cannot wait to see him back at the firehouse soon.

Please continue to keep Anthony and his family in your thoughts and support them however you can!
