What Beverly City Fire does

Beverly City Fire Commission, operating as Fire District No. 1, is a New Jersey municipal government entity providing fire suppression, emergency medical response, fire prevention, and public safety assistance to residents, businesses, and visitors of the City of Beverly and the Township of Edgewater Park in Burlington County, NJ. The organization operates two fire stations — Station 121 (Beverly Fire Co. No. 1 at 440 Laurel Street) and Station 122 (Hope Hose Fire Co. No. 2 at 408 Broad Street) — staffed primarily by volunteers and supported by a Fire Police unit, a Fire Marshal's Office (Lt. Jesse Nickum), and a five-member elected Board of Fire Commissioners led by Chairperson Paul Bent. Service offerings include fire suppression, EMS response, fire investigations, smoke and carbon monoxide detector compliance inspections, fire permits (Type 1 through Type 5 under the 2024 Updated Fire Prevention Ordinance), alarm system registration, a free smoke detector distribution program, and extensive public fire safety education for adults, children, and workplaces.

The organization is funded primarily through property tax assessments on properties within the City of Beverly and Edgewater Park Township, supplemented by modest fee revenue from inspections, fire permits (Type 1 $54, Type 2 $214, Type 3 $427, Type 5 CSDCMAC $80), and alarm system registrations under Beverly City Municipal Code Chapter 133. Its go-to-market is essentially statutory: as the designated fire code enforcing agency (with Cinnaminson Township Fire Marshal's Office executing certain inspection work via inter-municipal agreement), Beverly City Fire holds a regulatory monopoly over fire prevention services in its jurisdiction. Insurance coverage for volunteers and staff is provided through the First Responder Joint Insurance Fund. Operational scale is small, with 737 emergency calls answered in 2025 and approximately 7 listed administrative/commission personnel; service delivery is volunteer-driven. The technology footprint is minimal — a WordPress-based public website (beverlycityfire.com), two Facebook pages, standard public safety equipment supplied by vendors such as Continental Fire & Safety and Witmer Public Safety Group, and utility services from Public Service Electric & Gas and New Jersey American Water.
