Since 1922, the dedicated volunteer firefighters of the Franklin Park Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 have provided fire, rescue and disaster assistance services to the residents of Franklin Park and surrounding communities. The company has over 40 active members who receive no compensation for countless hours of service and training to protect you and your property.

The company has six fire trucks in operation out of two stations: the main hall at 2360 Rochester Road and a substation located on Wexford Bayne Road adjacent to Stone Mansion Drive. The company responds to over 200 alarms each year. In addition, the firefighters also present fire prevention and safety programs to students in local schools and day care centers.

Over 75 percent of the fire company's annual operating budget must be raised by members through the rental of their social hall and a financial solicitation mailing each May to every residence and businesses in the Borough.
