Today, we proudly celebrate the 5-Year Anniversary of the West Deptford Fire Department.

Five years ago, our township came together with a shared vision to unite our fire service into one department dedicated to providing the highest level of protection, professionalism, and service and staffing to our residents.

Through commitment, teamwork, and determination, we became the West Deptford Fire Department, built on a foundation of tradition, sacrifice, and community pride.

Over these past five years, we have achieved tremendous success. We strengthened our operations, enhanced training, modernized equipment, improved response capabilities, and continued to grow as one unified department. Most importantly, we built a culture centered around service, brotherhood, leadership, and dedication to the people of West Deptford.

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our elected officials, township administration, neighboring agencies, and our community. We extend our sincere gratitude for believing in this vision and for your continued support of our department and mission.

As we reflect on how far we’ve come, we also look ahead to where we are going. The future of the West Deptford Fire Department is bright. We remain committed to advancing training, strengthening our capabilities, investing in our firefighters, and continuing to provide exceptional service to every resident and visitor of our township.

To all our firefighters, officers, support staff, Fire Police, families, and community members thank you for being part of this journey.
Five years strong — and just getting started.

E Pluribus Unum — “Out of Many, One.” This principle has become more than words; it reflects who we are as a department and the foundation of our success:
Many members, one department.
Many skills, one mission.
Many individuals united in service.
Many disciplines, one standard.

On 5/29/26 the West Deptford Fire Department assisted our mutual aid partners at the Westville Fire Department.

Westville units were dispatched for a fire alarm activation in Buildings A, B, and C.

Shortly after the initial dispatch, 9-1-1 received multiple reports of smoke inside the building, prompting the incident to be upgraded to Task Force 7.

Engine 733 arrived on scene to find the building evacuated with the fire alarm system actively sounding.

Fire companies conducted a thorough investigation and located smoke coming from an apartment in Building C.

The source was determined to be careless cooking; however, smoke had spread throughout Buildings C and B Ladder 6 was placed into service to ventilate the affected areas and assist with clearing the smoke condition.

Today, the members of the West Deptford Fire Department pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten. As we spend time with family and friends this Memorial Day, we ask our community to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this day and remember those who gave everything for our freedom.

From all of us at the West Deptford Fire Department, we thank our fallen heroes and their families for their sacrifice.
