Call for Help!
To report a FIRE call the Secaucus Police Department – the fire emergency number is (201) 867-8000. State Mandated 911 service is also available. For the quickest, most reliable fire response, however, we encourage all residents to program the fire emergency number into your speed dialer, should there be a problem with the 911 system.
