Dec 1, 2025 - Paramus Volunteer Fire Department Chief Kurt Harba and Paramus Rescue Squad Chief Peter Braun are pleased to announce that the Rescue Squad will now be a part of the Paramus Fire Department.

The Rescue Squad will now be the fifth company of the PFD based out of the same location and membership will also remain the same.

In this modern era, it has become increasingly difficult to recruit volunteers for both of these emergency services. This merger will help both organizations to operate more efficiently and will ultimately benefit the community we serve.
