The Towaco Volunteer Fire Department (District No. 2, in the Township of Montville) was organized on August 9, 1920, to provide fire service to our community. 

 In April of 1921, a special committee was formed to meet with the Township Committee. Shortly afterward, a special election was held to create Fire District No. 2, and to elect a Board of Fire Commissioners to govern the new district. Then and now...

 Today the tradition continues. The Towaco Volunteer Fire Department is a modern well equipped force, dedicated to servicing the needs of the community. 

 Volunteer departments remain the most cost effective method of providing vital emergency services.
