Mount Tabor Fire Dept. To Hold 'Wetdown,' Building Dedication

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ — The Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department has a new building, and a new engine. Check them out at this September event.

The fire department will hold a "wetdown" and building dedication from 4-10 p.m. Sept. 25 at 909 Tabor Rd., Morris Plains. Activities will include a cash raffle, 50/50, dunk tank and bounce house and inflatable slide for the kids.

Mount Tabor firefighters moved into their new firehouse May 5 — a process that had been six years in the making. The firehouse has more than twice the square footage as their former building, different amenities to aid firefighters and a place to keep ambulances.
