19 University Ave "First due to the U!"
The firehouse at 19 University Ave at the North Jersey University was constructed in 1953 after the great North Jersey University fire in 1952. The North Jersey University Fire Co. was the original fire company to be housed here. In 1986 the Jakeland Fire Dept took over the North Jersey University fire dept responsibilities for the entire campus and area surrounding the university. Today Engine 12 is stationed here alone.
Engine 12 has operated at incidents across the city since 1986. The most notable incidents that have occurred in their district are the Cooper Dormitory Fire (5 Alarms, 10/20/1994, 5 fatalities) and the Joshua Chambers NJU Administrative Building Fire (5 Alarms, 2/26/2017).
