About Us
Our History
The Goshen Volunteer Fire Company, located in Goshen, New Jersey, was officially incorporated on June 29, 1949. The organization was established with the vital mission of protecting life and property from fire-related damage. Our goals include extinguishing fires, acquiring and maintaining firefighting apparatus and ensuring community education on the proper use of these tools, all while adhering to established by-laws.
Volunteer with Us!Our Present
Fast forward to the present day, and the fire company remains an all-volunteer organization comprising 30 to 35 dedicated men and women. We continue to operate from the same modest firehouse at 331 State Highway 47 North in Goshen, a location that has served our community since the inception of our organization in 1949. Today, we respond to a variety of calls for fire, rescue and EMS assistance, while actively engaging with our community.
