Fire department seeks new members The Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department is seeking new members to join its ranks. Currently, the department is on pace to answer 650 calls for service this year. Membership in the Wyckoff Fire Department is open to anyone who is 18 years of age or older and have graduated high school. Members who do not wish to become active firefighters may also find another position within the department. There are several areas within the department that do not involve actual fire fighting. These would include being a member of the fire police, a group that handles traffic control during emergencies, or joining the fire desk team, which handles the communications desk during emergencies. In addition to answering emergency calls, the fire department strives to reach out to the community and become involved in local events. During 2010, Wyckoff Firefighters attended numerous fire prevention talks at local schools, daycare centers, houses of worship, and local civic groups, as requested. Some of the yearly community activities in which members take part are: Safety Town, YMCA Health Fair, The Buddy Walk for Down syndrome, Toys for Tots, and escorting Santa around town every December on the fire trucks. Prospective members are encouraged to stop by a local firehouse any Monday Night at 7:30 p.m. and speak with an officer. Fire Company #1 is located behind town hall, Community Engine Company #2 is located on Wyckoff Avenue near Grandview Avenue, and Company #3 on Sicomac Avenue.
