MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the New Jersey State FMBA is to educate, involve, and affect those civilians who reside and work in New Jersey to adopt fire safety practices and procedures that prevent and mitigate human and economic losses arising from the devastating effects of fire.
The New Jersey State Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association was first organized and established on December 11, 1897, at the first annual convention held in Jersey City, NJ. At that seemingly uneventful gathering, whereupon only six original member locals: Jersey City, Paterson, Hoboken, Newark, Trenton and Camden, united to incorporate under the banner of the New Jersey State FMBA, birth was given to a new era in the history of the career fire service in New Jersey. In retrospect, it is, at best difficult, to estimate if our founding fathers possessed full awareness of the time enduring significance and the tremendous positive impact this organization was destined to have upon its members, their families and the general public throughout the decades to follow. Given that particularly industrious point of our society’s growth and development, the time was prefect to organize such an association. And organize they did. By 1907, less than a decade from its inception, local membership doubled from six to twelve locals, with total membership increasing to 1,157. Today with 107 Fire, EMS, and Dispatcher locals on its roster, the New Jersey State Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association proudly maintains an active membership of over 5,000 career personnel.

I am saddened to read your endorsement of Governor Phil Murphy for re election. As an EMT myself, Governor Murphy endangered the lived of many, many New Jersey residents by legalizing recreational marijuana. As a fellow union member( gladly not in your union) I find it appalling that your union, which represents those who are to serve and protect the general public, would reduce yourselves to endorsing someone who signed such legislation into law. And more importantly violates federal law and Article 1 2a of the NJ state constitution. I am dismayed and think less of not only your union, but the people you represent. I urge you to immediately rescind your endorsement. Thank you.
I walk back with no work and more depressed then the day before. I am running out of hope and pray that something good will happen for us. I thank you for your time.
Recently my family found an old FMBA member card from 1942 that was my great grandfathers, no one knew that he was a career firefighter. We are trying to find out where and how long he was in the FMBA. If there any records please let me know thanks!

Thank you
I’m looking to get new FMBA license plates, I see the instructions on how to obtain them, but do not see the download application.
Can you please email it to me?
Thank you.
I have been assigned to do a story about stress and PTSD among female firefighters. A University of Houston study finds female firefighters are more likely to contemplate suicide or suffer from PTSD. I would like to do a short, (5 minutes or less), recorded, over the phone interview w/you about this. But I am on deadline. Please call me ASAP at 800 388 6397.
