Training under real smoke and live fire ensures that when our neighbors call, we answer with skill, speed, and precision,” said Park Ridge Fire Chief Rich Bosi.
On Saturday, our volunteer firefighters spent the day at the Bergen County Fire Academy participating in intensive live-fire training evolutions. Crews rotated through realistic scenarios including rapid search and rescue, aggressive interior fire attack, specialized bedroom rescue operations (VEIS), and incident command coordination. Continuous, rigorous preparation is how we uphold our core commitment to keeping Park Ridge homes and families safe 24/7/365.
Teamwork is the foundation of mutual aid emergency response. A sincere thank you to the Tri-Boro Ambulance Corps for providing dedicated on-scene medical standby, our brothers at the Woodcliff Lake Fire Department for drilling alongside us, and the Montvale Fire Department for town coverage while our members trained.
While our members train to protect you, take two minutes today to protect your family: • Test your home smoke and carbon monoxide detectors—check them monthly and replace batteries annually. • Answer the call: We are an all-volunteer department. If you’re ready to serve your neighbors and gain life-saving skills, we want you on our team!
