Support
the Denville Volunteer Fire Department
During
and after Hurricane Irene, The Denville Volunteer
Fire Department served the Township of Denville with
evacuations, fire calls, medical calls, transports
and pump outs resulting in over 800 man-hours in
three days. The Denville Fire Department, continued
to pump out residences and businesses for weeks
following the flood. The Denville Fire Department
also sustained loss due to the Hurricane, in the
form of their firehouse. Valley View Company 3 was
flooded out by the Rockaway River, and was condemned
after the storm. Water damaged the backup generator,
causing the pumps in the basement to stop, leaving
the basement filled with water up to the bays. The
firehouse suffered water and structural damage.
Valley View Fire House was ultimately deemed unsafe
to house the two fire engines and one ambulance.
Valley View Fire House will be closed until further
notice and the apparatus will be located at the
Denville Township Department of Public Works. Valley
View Company 3 provides fire and first aid
protection for the Denville residents and businesses
north of the Rockaway River. The fire department
would like to thank the Denville Community for their
continual support. If you are able to contribute to
the Denville Volunteer Fire Department in their
relief efforts, please contact the board of chiefs
at 973-627-0720 or send donations to the Denville
Fire Department Association at 2 Indian Road
Denville NJ 07834.
