Exempt Members 

An Exempt Fireman’s Association was formed in February 1950 for the purpose of maintaining recognition in Trenton, New Jersey on many legislative referendums pertaining to volunteer firemen’s benefits. Seven years of 60% attendance of fires and drills is a requirement for membership before an applicant can be accepted into this association. After achievement and receipt of Exempt status, firemen have a death benefit that is paid by the state of New Jersey this benefit stays with that person, whether they are fire personnel or not, anywhere in the country. The local exempt Association is responsible for contacting the state, and helping with the administration duties involved upon a exempt fireman passing away.

Social activities and participation in parades enliven the routine of fire drills and attendance at fire schools for the volunteers. The department has won many trophies, in various competitions among fellow firemen, at parades in which they have participated.
