Safety Tips

GTFD1 Smoke Detector 2025

Most fire fatalities occur in your home.
Fire victims die of smoke inhalation, poisonous gases, or lack of oxygen, not from severe burns!
Cooking is the leading cause of residential fires and burns.
Careless smoking is still the leading cause of residential fire deaths.

Make sure your family has an escape plan.
Sleep with your door closed. A closed door provides safety against heat and smoke.
Install a smoke detector in every bedroom and change the batteries twice a year, use the time change as a reminder.
Crawl low in smoke. In a fire, the super heated air and toxic gases fill the room from the top down. These leaves a “Safety Zone” of breathable air about 12 to 24 inches above the floor.

Have everyone in the household listen to the smoke alarm, so they will be aware of what it sounds like.
Put matches and lighters out of reach of little ones.

History

The initial meeting held on October 27, 1925 in the home of Harry Gross was for the purpose of organizing the Glendora Volunteer Fire Company #1.

Prior to this date the Glendora men had been members of the Chews Landing Company that answered calls in the Glendora area. On November 25, 1925 the first officers were elected and it was decided that Tuesday night would be the time to meet and is still the meeting night of the company.

The first ground purchased by the fire company was the 80’ x 100’ lot on Seventh Avenue for $ 900.00 dollars the first Chief was elected on December 29, 1925. On January 7, 1926 the Incorporation papers were completed and in July the by-laws were accepted.

A “Volunteers Wanted” sign outside Glendora Fire Company was all it took for Dante Renzetti to take the first step toward becoming a volunteer firefighter.

Just a few months later, the New Jersey Department of Transportation employee discovered that volunteering has challenged him in new ways, helped him grow personally, and introduced him to people who share a commitment to serving others.

Colleen VanArt has always wanted to be a firefighter. Growing up, she watched her father and brother serve their communities through the fire service at Glendora Fire Company and other stations. But, when she was younger, her father viewed firefighting as “a man’s job,” and Heritage never pursued the path she had always imagined for herself. That changed in the final days of her dad’s life.

Before his death from pancreatic cancer on July 4, 2025, VanArt’s father shared one last wish for his daughter– for her to follow the firefighting dream she had carried since childhood.

See how she is honoring her father’s final wish this Father's Day at glendoranjfirefighters.org/dads-dying-wish-for-daughter-leads-her-to-become-a-glendora-volunteer-...
