Livingston Fire Department Launches 2024 Fund Drive, Seeks Donations

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Last year, the Livingston Volunteer Fire Department responded to 28 general fire alarms and more than 1,000 calls for emergency service, also pitching in when other nearby fire departments called for mutual aid.

Now, the LFD is asking for a boost themselves.

The fire department recently put out a call for donations as part of its annual fund drive. Learn how to make a donation here.
