Inside a weather-beaten barn behind the Eureka Engine Co.
firehouse sits a veritable cornucopia of
firefighting memorabilia from around the world.
A treasure-trove
of relics fill every nook and cranny of the Eureka Fire Museum, the creation of
former Chief Edward Harto and now
its chief caretaker and curator.

The members of
the Milltown Fire Department would like to thank everyone who
donated to our collection and participated in our car wash to
benefit the family of Lt. Charles Garbarini of the New York City
Fire Department.
Charles,
who has been missing since the tragedy on Sept. 11, leaves
behind his wife, Andrea, and sons Philip, 3, and Dylan, 5. The
Milltown Fire Department has decided to adopt this family as
part of our family and will continue to support them in any way
we can.

The
Milltown Fire Department was incorporated on Feb. 22, 1911 as
The Eureka Fire Company No. 1. In 1922, this Company was
disbanded and two new Companies were Incorporated;
Eureka Engine Co. No. 1 and Eureka Hose Company No. 1
We
currently have four pieces of fire apparatus housed at the two
fire stations.
Engine Company located on South Main Street has:

1994
American LaFrance 1500gpm Pumper
|
|
1998
American LaFrance 1500gpm Rescue Pumper
|
Hose
Company located on Cottage Avenue has:
|

|
2003 Seagrave 1500gpm Pumper

We
are also the proud owners of a 1921 American LaFrance 750gpm
Pumper, which is used for parades and shows.
The
Milltown Fire Department is governed by a Board of Fire Officers
consisting of the Chief, Deputy Chief and Assistant Chief. Each
company has three officers.
We
are a volunteer organization and our equipment is funded by the
Municipality. Several fund raisers are held throughout the year
to support the Company treasuries. With these funds we support
several community activities such as the DARE program, The
Milltown Little League and the annual Santa Claus tour of
Milltown.
