Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our department and services
Why should I dial 9-1-1 instead of calling the fire station directly?
The 9-1-1 emergency system is designed to save valuable seconds. When you dial 9-1-1, the system routes the police or fire unit that is closest to your home.
Should I call if I suspect a fire but can't confirm it?
Yes. Do not be embarrassed to call for your Fire Department's assistance, even for uncertain situations like unusual odors or appliance sparks. Many Pleasantville firefighters are your neighbors, and we are here to serve.
Will firefighters help if I'm locked out?
As a "service oriented" Fire Department, we will attempt to assist you in gaining access if you are locked out of your home or vehicle.
What should disabled family members do during a fire?
It is important to have a well-defined escape plan in place. For those confined to wheelchairs, ensure immediate wheelchair access is part of the plan so they can evacuate quickly.
Will firefighters respond to a carbon monoxide detector activation?
Yes, but you must call 9-1-1 first. The fire department will respond to test the air for carbon monoxide and ensure your safety.
Why does fire apparatus arrive for medical emergencies?
All Pleasantville firefighters are N.J. State Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Emergency Responders. Our fire apparatus is equipped with first-aid supplies and defibrillators, and firefighters often arrive first due to their proximity within the neighborhood.
