Exciting and wonderful news!!! For many years, the Ho-Ho-Kus Volunteer Fire Department has participated in the Ridgewood 4th of July parade and celebration. This year they scored an unprecedented record of recognitions. The department received five first place awards. They are:

Congratulations to all the senior and junior members of the department.

No awards are given to ambulance corps as they are on site for first aid and emergencies. The Ho-Ho-Kus Volunteer Ambulance Corps did a yeoman job with dedication of many service hours. A Ho-Ho-Kus ambulance was seen at an assigned parade site from 8:00 am to 1 pm treating spectators for minor injuries and with a trip to Valley Hospital for a more serious incident.

The Ho-Ho-Kus Corps members returned at night and were on duty from 6 pm to 10 pm for the Ridgewood fire works.

We are grateful to them for their dedication and we thank them for all their efforts.

We are fortunate to have all our volunteer services.
