343 Firefighters. 37 PAPD Officers. 23 NYPD Officers. Thousands of civilians.

On the 25th anniversary, we pause to honor the heroes and loved ones we lost on September 11th. Their bravery, their sacrifice, and their final acts of service will never be forgotten and we continue to remember them today and always.

We will never forget.

Members took advantage of the great weather Wednesday to preplan a unique section of our first due area. Raccoon Island is one of the few occupied islands on Lake Hopatcong, accessible only by ferry during the summer. With no direct road access, response operations rely heavily on watercraft.

Crews reviewed access points, ferry procedures, and shuttle operations using Fire Boat 717. Thank you to the Raccoon Island residents for their assistance and support during the walkthrough.

JTFD2 is 100% volunteer and always in need of members! If interested, please private message us, check out our website www.jtfd2.com for emails, or stop by the Route 15 Firehouse Wednesday nights at 7:30pm!

Great day of training! JTFD2 members traveled across town to JTFD1 to participate in a multi‑agency tanker drill. Morris and Sussex County departments worked on water supply operations. Great job by all agencies!

Summer is in full swing on the lake, and JTFD2 responded to multiple calls for service throughout the week. Incidents included an outside fire extending to a structure, a water vessel that ran aground, several MVAs, and general alarms across the township.

In addition to handling calls for service, members proudly escorted the Miss Lotta Veterans cruise around the lake. JTFD2 reminds everyone to enjoy a fun, safe, and responsible summer on and around the water. Life jackets save lives.
