In 1935, a group of public-spirited citizens recognizing the need for fire protection in Fire District # 3, began taking steps leading to the formation of the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company. This was a difficult task. It was a new community that was experiencing an era of building and expansion. Early in September 1935, the Fire Company was formally organized. The first elected officers we

re: President, Mr. Henry Williams; Vice-President, Mr. Milton Gibian; Secretary, Mr. Randolph Hamroth; Treasurer, Mr. Edward Flanagan; and Chief, Mr. Frank Sena. Incorporation formalities were approved on November 2, 1935. Without delay, the members were determined to go ahead. Monies were loaned by some members to purchase some fire equipment and a committee was formed to investigate the possibility of purchasing a used fire truck. The first fire truck was obtained from the Livingston Fire Company by December 1935. The Morris Plains Fire Association provided fire rings with which to summon members to a fire. In those early days, the meetings were held in the residences of Mr. Peter Yeager of Kingston Road and Mr. Edward Flanagan of Centerton Drive. The Lake Parsippany Property Owners Association Club House became available for meetings afterwards. The next problem was to obtain a suitable location to house the fire truck. Land was purchased from the New York Daily Mirror and construction was started on the firehouse in August 1936. Within one year after organizing, the Fire Company had though dances, raffles and the help of generous contributors, became a full-fledged fire company. Shortly after our first anniversary in December 1936 we welcomed one of our most valuable assets: the Ladies Auxiliary of the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company. They performed remarkable work for the firefighters and much of our progress is the result of their continued efforts and support. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for the many nights they supplied hot coffee in the freezing weather while the members were engaged with firefighting duties we salute the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary. The passing years have seen continued improvements and the members of the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company have been dedicated to protecting life and property in District # 3 in the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township. In the year 2002 the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company moved across the street to their new home on Halsey Road. The old firehouse stills continues to serve our community as a substation for the Parsippany Rescue and Recovery Unit. New neighbors and their families continue to join in the spirit of the "Volunteer" and follows our motto:

"NEIGHBOR PROTECTING AND HELPING NEIGHBOR"

The Election is from 2p-9p at the Lake Parsippany Fire Department (or at your local Fire House in the section of town you live in). Come out today and vote in favor of our Annual Fire Budget! This is for the operating budget needed to cover all of the building costs and provide all the necessary equipment needed to support your Lake Parsippany VOLUNTEER Fire Fighters.

Our Board of Fire Commissioners are proud of the fact that we plan ahead and save to be able to purchase the necessary trucks and equipment needed to protect our community at the best prices possible, without paying extra in interest and fees. We also work diligently with the Fire Company to find Grants and apply for them to help keep costs down and save our taxpayers money.

So when you find yourself out and about today, stop by your local Fire House, and Vote YES on the budget that supports the brave men and women in our community who Volunteer to run into burning buildings and dangerous situations that most are running out of. They leave thier homes at all hours of the day and night, leave thier families during dinner, on holidays, during celebrations, on weekends, in any weather, to go help complete strangers in their community, just because they called for help. They dont have to, but they do because they want to. We are lucky to have such dedicated individuals in our neighborhoods!

Cooking fires and burns can happen in seconds. Stay in the kitchen when you’re cooking, keep an eye on open flames, and always have a lid nearby to smother small grease fires safely.

Simple steps like staying focused, keeping flammable items away from the stove, and knowing how to respond if a fire starts can help reduce burn risks in the kitchen.
