                 Who We Are....

 

     The Northwest Bergen Mutual Aid Association is a commitment of 14 Fire and 3 Rescue groups encompassing 14 towns to provide equipment and manpower to any one member of the Association if the resources available in that town cannot meet the needs of a particular emergency.

 `

     Throughout the Mutual Aid Association, more and more towns are relying on this intra-local agreement every year.  For instance, OSHA regulations requiring a two-out engine and fast teams at all structure fires have further stretched the depleted and dwindling ranks of paid and volunteer fire departments.  This agreement temporarily addresses the manpower needs and shortages facing many local departments.

MISSION STATEMENT 

The Mission of the Northwest Bergen County Mutual Aid Association (NWBMA) is to provide professional, quality and time efficient Fire & Rescue services to all of the citizens of Northwest Bergen County, and other communities who rely upon such services through mutual aid agreements.

The Officers and Firefighters of the Northwest Bergen County Mutual Aid Association (NWBMA) will strive to provide these services through the utilization of highly trained and skilled full-time and volunteer Firefighters.

All Members of the Northwest Bergen County Mutual Aid Association (NWBMA) will be proactive in providing quality training and equipment to our personnel, with the resources available, so as to assure the delivery of competent, caring service.  And to always strive to place the safety of our citizens and personnel as our "Number One" priority in protecting our communities from the Loss of Life and Property.
