Raritan Borough Fire Department Provides fire protection services to the people and businesses of Raritan Borough located Somerset County, New Jersey. We'd be delighted to have you join us!

Ask most people what they'd like to have more of in their lives and they'd probably give you a quick response: more time. For the average person in the Borough of Raritan, there are never enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished. For over 140 years, an extraordinary group of friends and neighbors in Raritan have given thousands of hours of their personal time to keep our town, our homes, and our businesses safe. These are the volunteer members of Relief Hose Company #2, currently twenty-six of your neighbors who respond to over 200 alarms each year. As members of the Raritan Fire Department, we extinguish fires, extricate victims from motor vehicle accidents, and handle a wide variety of calls for assistance, including smoke investigations, gas leaks, electrical emergencies, carbon monoxide alarms, fire alarm activations, and floods. We spend many hours caring for our trucks, tools and equipment to make sure that they're ready for any emergency, and we participate in a variety of fire prevention and community events. And we've logged countless hours of training to keep our professional skills sharp. The members of Relief Hose Company #2 own the firehouse on North Thompson Street, which is our base of operations and houses three of our fire engines. The costs of maintenance, utilities and renovations for this Firehouse are paid for through contributions from our residents and businesses. Every member of Relief Hose Company #2 is a volunteer. We're a completely volunteer organization, giving of our personal time to provide an essential service to our community. Perhaps you've thought about becoming a member. If so, please call at 908-707-8540 or stop by the North Thompson Street Firehouse any Thursday night between 6:30 pm and 9pm. Thank you again for your past and continuing support. We can't do it without you!
