The history of Fire District #6 goes back to 1929. At that time it was incorporated by 27 members who volunteered their time to help and assist the residents of Parsippany Troy Hills. Those members in 1929 had occupations that included dairy farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, electricians, gas station attendants and police officers. Today our member’s occupations may be different, but they are stil
l similar to those of our founding fathers. However, just like in 1929, we still are ALL volunteers and offer our services to the community “Free of Charge”. Our members and equipment are only a phone call away and ready twenty four hours a day, seven days a week to protect the lives of you and your loved ones as well as your property. We’re not much different from you or people you know, you might even know some of our members. We are your neighbors , friends , co-workers. We are the dedicated men and women of Parsippany who enjoy giving back to our town. We might have had an opportunity to teach your children about fire safety and prevention at one of our elementary school visitations every October during Fire Prevention Week. Perhaps you and your family have stopped by during our Monday night training drills or even attended our open house during Fire Prevention Week. We are always looking for new members to join our department in our quest to keep the residents of Parsippany safe. If you are interested in doing your part in the community, this is a great opportunity to do so. Feel free to contact us at 973-335-0144 or just stop by the firehouse located at 60 Littleton Road during one of Monday night drills. If your between the ages of 16 and 18 you can still do your part by joining our Junior Firefighter program in which you will be able to work side by side with the regular members. Through this experience, you will be prepared to make the jump from a junior member to a regular member.
