The East Windsor Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 was officially incorporated on July 11, 1969. Some men had encouraged the formation of a fire company and offered his assistance to see it happen. After reviewing the facts, these individuals decided that it was time that a fire department be organized in East Windsor Township.

The fire company continued to operate out of the two stations until December 1977, when the township council passed an ordinance recognizing the East Windsor Volunteer Fire Company No 2.

During the 1980's the fire company continued in the tradition of public service to the community. The early leaders of the company, emphasized the importance of educating our youngsters in fire prevention. Public fire education programs were regularly presented at the township schools and at the firehouse. The firefighters looked forward to these presentations, because they really enjoyed making the kids smile and teaching them how to be safe.
