    Oradell FD Patch New Milford Fire Department RE FD Patch

    The Tri-Boro South Mutual Aid Group was formed in 1948.  The original group was comprised of Oradell, New Milford and River Edge Fire Departments along with New Milford and River Edge Ambulance Corps.  The group was established to share resources during large scale incidents.  The three towns meet every other month and each town hosts one drill per year.

    The towns also share common alarm procedures for certain structures.  An occupied school is a Tri-Boro alarm which brings Oradell, New Milford and River Edge to that building.  Each town is designated to bring certain apparatus first.  Each town also has one nursing care facility, which is also an automatic Tri-Boro alarm.  The three police departments are equipped to push one button and activate the original three towns.

    The Tri-Boro also relies on each other during large structure fires, especially during the day when manpower is at a minimum.  The original three towns each share a common dispatch and fire ground frequency.  The apparatus are also numbered in a similar format.
