A Century of Volunteer Service
(Since 1925)
For more than 100 years, West Keansburg Fire Company No. 1 has stood as a symbol of dedication, sacrifice, and community pride. Since its incorporation on March 11, 1925, generations of volunteer firefighters have answered the call to protect the residents of West Keansburg and Hazlet Township. What began as a small organization equipped with only three Indian tanks, two buckets, and a flashlight has grown into a modern fire company serving one of Monmouth County’s busiest and most vibrant communities.
A Proud Member of Hazlet Township Fire District No. 1
With the rising costs of apparatus, gear, and equipment, the township residents approved the establishment of the Hazlet Township Fire District #1 in 1985. The West Keansburg Fire Company No. 1, Hazlet Fire Company No. 1, and the North Centerville Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 began to see steady financial support from the taxpayers. This allowed the members to focus on call response and training versus many hours of fundraising.
Together, these organizations provide townwide:
- Fire suppression services
- Rescue operations
- Fire prevention and public education programs
- Emergency response support
- Community outreach and special event participation
The partnership among the three companies ensures comprehensive fire protection for the residents, visitors, and businesses of Hazlet Township.
