The free event invited families to explore fire engines, a ladder truck and specialty rescue vehicles. Advertised activities included a fire truck bounce house, a trackless fire truck ride, face painting and refreshments. Donations benefiting the Millburn Welfare Association were welcomed.
Over its century and a half of service, the department’s responsibilities have grown to include medical emergencies, water rescues, vehicle extrications and hazardous materials response. Its community outreach also includes station tours, fire prevention presentations and complimentary home fire safety surveys.
The anniversary offered an opportunity to recognize the firefighters who protect Millburn and Short Hills and the community connections that support their work.
