In 1935, a group of public-spirited citizens, recognizing the need for fire protection in Fire District #3, began taking steps that led to the formation of the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company. This was a difficult task. It was a new community experiencing an era of growth and expansion.

Early in September 1935, the Fire Company was formally organized. The first elected officers were: President, Mr. F. Henry Williams; Vice-President, Mr. Milton Gibian; Secretary, Mr. Randolph Hamroth; Treasurer, Mr. Edward Flanagan; and Chief, Mr. Frank Sena. Incorporation formalities were approved on November 2, 1935.
