By 1910, virtually all of the farms in Ridgefield Park were gone, one of the last being the Hazelton Farms in the northeast section. The area was growing rapidly and a disastrous fire on Edwin Street on October 1, 1910 destroyed two homes and a barn. Several meetings were quickly held and on October 10 the Hazelton Heights Fire Company Number 4 was incorporated and accepted by the Village. The Westview Hose Company presented the Hazelton Heights Company with it's first apparatus, a hand drawn hose jumper and 500 feet of hose. This apparatus was housed in a bungalow on Hazelton Street and eventually moved across the street in 1912 where it still is housed. In May of 1912, a hand drawn Hook & Ladder was acquired and converted to a horse drawn apparatus. The company was thereafter known as Hook & Ladder Company Number 2.
