Established in 1946, our company is the 3rd fire district within the Township of Wall. Other companies include district 1 West Belmar Fire Co. to the East and district 2 Glendola Fire Co. to the North.

In addition to serving Wall Township, our firefighters provide mutual aid to surrounding towns including, Sea Girt, Manasquan, Brielle, Howell and Point Pleasant. Shared services and Mutual aid agreements between neighboring towns ensure that residents are supported by the manpower and equipment necessary in the event of an emergency. Additionally, South Wall Fire Rescue is frequently called into action as a Rapid Intervention Team “RIT” to rescue a downed firefighter should the need arise. South Wall is a recognized RIT Team in Monmouth and Ocean County. South Wall also operates as a light to medium Structural Collapse Team.

Our members are dedicated to maintaining the highest level of skills within fire suppression, heavy rescue and extrication as well search and rescue by land or water. In 2018 Wall Fire District No. 3 began a combination department, promoting one career firefighter to LT and hiring two career firefighters to be on duty and supplement the volunteer staff. Wall Fire District No.3 currently has 4 career firefighters Monday – Friday 6:00am-6:00pm. “Engine 3” also has a shared service agreement with Wall Fire District 1 and responds into their District to assist with manpower.

The Department trains regularly and members spend collectively hundreds of hours a year honing their skills.
