City of Bayonne Fire Department
Geographically located at the southern tip of Hudson County, Bayonne is a peninsula city with New York Harbor to the east, the Kill Van Kull to the south, and Newark Bay to the west. Bayonne is bordered by Jersey City to the north and we are connected to Staten Island, the 5th Borough of New York City, via the Bayonne Bridge.
The City of Bayonne Fire Department protects a city of approximately 70,000 residents in an area of about 3 square miles. Another 2.5 square miles is occupied by heavy industry and the now closed Military Ocean Terminal. This industrial area is made up of primarily warehousing, petroleum shipping and storage, and other commercial facilities. The closed Military Ocean Terminal has occupied multiple dwellings, commercial structures, warehouses, a dry dock, and other commercial facilities.
The Bayonne Fire Department has 195 members as of October 1, 1999. A four group system is employed and the members work a 24 hours on, 72 hours off schedule (42 hour workweek). Seven (7) engine companies, three (3) ladder companies and two (2) Battalion Chiefs are strategically spread among 7 fire stations for suppression operations.
In addition to fire suppression the department is also responsible for fire prevention and education, origin and cause investigations and confined space and hazardous materials response. In an effort to augment the municipal emergency medical service, Engine Companies 2, 5, and 6 began responding in July of 1999 as CFR-D (Certified First Responder-Defibrillator) engine companies. As of November 19, 1999, all seven engine companies are defibrillator equipped and respond as CFR-D companies. Beginning with the most recent probationary class all future Bayonne Firefighters will be EMT certified.
