The Seaside Park Volunteer Fire Company Number 1 was founded in 1913. The firehouse was built on Fourth Avenue shortly after the founding of the Fire Company. An addition to the rear of the firehouse was originally used as horse stables. The first team of horses used by the fire company belonged to Chief Frank Hewitt, who operated the town’s express delivery service. In 1953, a new Town Hall was built for the municipal offices, police and fire departments at the former site of the railroad station.

Residents of the borough who volunteer their time as members of the Seaside Park Fire Company are notified of an emergency by a pager and by a siren. Please be alert for members responding to the fire house at Sixth Avenue; yield to personal vehicles with blue lights or hazard lights flashing.

As a volunteer organization, the company relies heavily on residents for support. To join the fire company, fire company auxiliary, for information on fire prevention, or to make a financial donation, please contact the fire company. The Seaside Park Volunteer Fire Company provides emergency services to Seaside Park and the South Seaside Park section of Berkeley Township
