In recent years the Madison Fire Department initiated two vitally important programs that may have a direct effect on the outcome of a fire or personal illness/accident within your home.

The Madison Fire Department, with the assistance of public donations, County grant funds, and the Madison F.M.B.A., has developed a Smoke Detector Distribution and Installation service for those residents in need of assistance (senior citizens, handicapped, others requiring special assistance or any person who has a special health condition).  Upon request, we will install smoke detectors on each level of your home.  The department will also install Carbon Monoxide detectors on any level where there is a sleeping area.  There are NO costs associated with this service!  Any residents requiring assistance with the installation of detectors or battery maintenance are also strongly encouraged to contact us for assistance.

Our "Vial of Life" program was also initiated with the Smoke Detector program.  This program provides an opportunity for all residents to have vital health history information available to emergency personnel at your home should the need arise.  This is especially important for anyone on prescription medication or have any kind of special health condition.  Residents can fill out the form provided, roll it up, place it in the vial, and place the vial in the top shelf inside the refrigerator door.  An identifying magnet is then placed on the outside of the refrigerator door, and a "Vial of Life" sticker placed on the front door to alert emergency personnel that the resident is a participant in the program.  Upon request we will provide the "Vial of Life" components to any resident and will also assist in filling out the health form for those who may require assistance.  There are NO costs associated with this service!  All residents are encouraged to participate.             

Please contact the Fire Department's non-emergency number (973-593-3021) and an on-duty firefighter can assist you with both of these life saving programs.  For these programs to have a positive impact we need YOUR assistance.  Call Us - We Can Help You!
