The
Clinton Fire Department is located in the heart of downtown Clinton, Hunterdon
County, New Jersey. We proudly protect a population of over 2,000 covering
approximately 1.2 square miles. We run out of one station located on the
corner of New Street and Old Route 22.
The Clinton Fire Department handles all the fire department duties --
extinguishing building fires, resetting fire alarms, supplying water at
car accidents, and other miscellaneous jobs -- for the town of Clinton.
Besides covering Clinton, we also cover parts of our neighboring towns,
Franklin and Union Townships.Outside of our first due area, we respond
when requested to other parts of the county. We typically average around
190 calls per year, most of which are smells of smoke and alarm bells.
Along with responding to fire calls, we have monthly drills and meetings.
The Clinton Fire Department is always looking for new membership. If interested,
call (908) 735-8613, or better yet, stop by the station. We are always
around on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings and will be happy to show
you around. If you'd like more information about becoming a member, fill

06/17/2009 : FIRE : Busy Day in Town (Clinton)
Tuesday, June 16, 2009: Clinton fire had a busy afternoon. At 1732 Clinton(45) and Quakertown(91) were dispatched on box 2548 for the vehicle fire. Deputy 91 arrived at a fully involved van in the parking lot of HDC. Deputy 91 assumed command and E451 arrived to begin an attack. Chief 45 arrived and command was transfered when Deputy 91 responded to an MVA in 91 Fire's first due. E91 and E452 arrived next and assisted in suppression efforts. Magnesium and a considerable fuel leak hindered efforts to extinguish the fire. Booms and pads were placed near catch basins to limit environmental damage from the leaking fuel. County Haz-mat was notified of the spill and all units were cleared at 1846.
At 1904 while Clinton firefighters were cleaning equipment and restoring apparatus to full duty, Box 4501 Level 3 was dispatched for the possible fire in the A&P. Units assigned to the box were Clinton(E451 & T45), Annandale(E461), High Bridge(T14), Quakertown(E91) and Lebanon Boro(FAST). Chief 45 arrived and assumed command. Workers advised there was smoke coming from a freezer unit in the store. E451 and T45 arrived on scene and quickly determined the fire had been put out by store employees with an extinguisher. The assignment was held to E451 and T45 all others were returned. Members checked for extension and shut off power to the unit before taking up. The Health Department and Fire Marshal 45 were notified and all fire units cleared the scene by 1925. |
