Alpine Township Fire Department Launches Community Connect!

We’re excited to introduce Community Connect, a secure, easy-to-use platform designed to help us serve you better during emergencies.

Why Community Connect?
In an emergency, every second counts. By creating a free profile, you can share critical details about your home or business—like:
-Household members, pets, or employees
-Medical needs or mobility challenges
-Gate codes, access points, and utility info

This information helps our firefighters respond faster, smarter, and safer, protecting lives and property.

New Feature: Automated Burn Permits
Community Connect now integrates our burn permit system—making it easier than ever to apply and manage permits online!

Your information stays private and secure. You choose what to share, and it’s only accessible to first responders during an emergency.
