Fire Protection

If you are experiencing a fire-related emergency, dial 911.

Union Township is covered by four different fire departments. When a 911 call is placed to report a fire within the Township, it will be routed to the Pattenburg, Clinton, High Bridge, or Quakertown Fire Company, depending upon the fire’s location.

All four of the fire departments deserve our thanks for high quality, volunteer services.  Contact your local fire company if you are interested in volunteering; more help is always welcome.
