The Hackensack Fire Department was established April 1, 1871. The first fire company was Bergen Hook & Ladder Co. 1. In 1911 a full time fire department was created.

The Hackensack Ford fire was a tragic fire that occurred in 1988 and killed five Hackensack firefighters.^[3] The deaths were due to the collapse of the bowstring truss roof. This tragic event changed the way of fighting a fire when a bowstring truss roof is involved.

Nine firefighters from Hackensack have died in the line of duty.^[4]
