During 1928, the organization of a new fire company began to take place. Members held their first meeting on September 8, 1928, and stepped right into the picture of firematic matters in Cedar Grove with the organization of the North End Fire Company No. 2.

The members contributed money to purchase a car for fire apparatus, a six cylinder Locomobile. They placed a body on the chassis and used it as a hose cart for their first fire truck. The car was housed in a garage in the rear of Dittig’s store, at the corner of East Lindsley Road and Stevens Avenue.

Today North End Company #2 is located at 170 East Lindsley Road. There is an authorized membership of 28 firefighters who operate and maintain Engine 72 and Engine 76.
