Station 33
60 Thunderbird Rd, Ramapo, NJ
Station 33, located in Ramapo, houses Engine 33, Truck 33, Engine Tanker 33 and Battalion 1. The station itself was constructed in 1995 and was headquarters to the now defunct Ramapo Volunteer Fire Department, which was the largest fire department in Liberty County. In 2006 the Ramapo Volunteer Fire Dept. was disbanded and the F.D.L.C. took over firefighting operations. This stations response area is mostly urban with 1.5 to 2.5 story residential homes. They are also first due to a large corporate park which is where a number of corporations have their headquarters (Jaguar, Land Rover, Inserra Supermarkets, Sharp Electronics, UPS, DialAmerica Marketing).

This is a mural that is on the driver side of Engine 33. The Ramapo Volunteer Firefighters had a mural painted of their 1985 Ford C/Pierce, which was replaced by the 2000 Freightliner FL80/E-One, to honor the former Engine 1. The mural originally had the dates 1985 and 2000 to show the years the '85 engine served. On the bottom was written "Engine Company 1" instead of Fire Department. When the F.D.L.C. took over this station, they were contacted by the artist, Edward "Eddie" March. He offered to alter the mural for free to honor the disbanded Ramapo Volunteer Fire Department. This mural is one of the few remaining remnants of the Ramapo Volunteer Fire Department. It is also rare to see on a F.D.L.C. truck.
