Erskine Lakes Fire

The Erskine Lakes Fire Company has provided the Borough of Ringwood with excellent fire service for over 67 years. The Company came to existence in 1946 when a group of men formulated the idea that the picturesque area that is Ringwood, needed a Volunteer Fire Company to protect from Forest fires as well as the homes beginning to populate the area of Erskine Lakes. After many months of comprehensive research and assistance for local fire departments surrounding Erskine Lakes, the first organized meeting was conducted on July 30, 1946 at the Old Hilltop Clubhouse with seventeen men in attendance. Shortly after this, work was initiated to equip the company with a fire truck.
