The Verona Fire Department is always seeking new members. Joining the department opens the door to new experiences. Members enjoy a close fraternal tie with unlimited networking as well as a new experience of learning, rarely found in other types of organizations.

Although we get no paycheck, the smile of a child seeing you when bringing an engine to school on fire prevention day, the appreciation of a grandmother and her grandkids who voluntarily baked you and the other cold firefighters on "Santa Day" cookies for Christmas, or the family who cannot thank you enough for coming to their aid can not be put into monetary form. Community pride and the feeling of making a difference is what keeps us going.

The requirements for membership are as follows. You must be 18 years of age but not yet 45, as well as lived in Verona for at least 6 months. To apply, please do one of the following: All new members will receive training by the Verona Fire Department and can go to any state authorized Fire academy at no cost to the member.

If you are unsure if you want to join, but wish to speak to someone, please fill out this form or leave a message on the Fire Department's Office Line at (973)-857-1078. The Verona Fire Department will contact you.
