Fire Prevention

Every day Americans experience the horrors of fire. Unfortunately, most people do not understand fire. Only when we know the true nature of fire can we prepare ourselves and our families.

Each year an unbelievable 4,500 Americans die and more than 30,000 others are injured in fires. Many of these are casualties and injuries which could be prevented. The United States Fire Administration believes that fire deaths can be reduced by teaching people the basic facts about fire.

Hawthorne currently utilizes the enhanced 911 emergency dialing system for the entire Borough.

The Hawthorne Fire Dept Auxiliary has reopened sales for flags in an effort to paint the town red, white, and blue. By participating, you'll not only help us showcase Hawthorne's patriotic spirit, but you'll also provide meaningful support to our Fire Department Auxiliary, whose dedication directly helps the Fire Department to keep our community safe every day. ...

The Hawthorne Fire Department sincerely thanks to Anheuser-Busch for their donation of 86 cases of canned drinking water produced at their brewery for our firefighters. Each company will be assigned cases for their apparatus to help hero members hydrated during incidents. Thank you to the local vendors delivering this water and Lori Shirley from the National Volunteer Fire Council, much appreciated! ... See MoreSee Less
