Passaic Engine Company 1
The first fire company, Engine Company 1 was organized July 4th, 1815, and was ultimately and appropriately named (Passaic Engine Company No. 1) after the river that flowed by the settlement and furnished the mills and factories with (at that time) unlimited power. Nmber 1 was the only fire company until February, 1821. The first location of which there is any knowledge was a small, one-story frame building on the north side of Van Houten street, east of Prospect street, which they occupied until January, 1843, when the house burned down.
|
The first engine used by the company was a cumbersome affair operated by hand brakes and a roller, underneath the box, upon which the rope was wound. In May, 1822, an engine was purchased from Sayre & Force, of New York. This was a side brake engine which acquired the name "Old Gooseneck" and is shown in the photographs below.

Old Gooseneck was reacquired long after it went out of service (1835) by the Paterson Exempt Fireman's Association and was stored on the porch of the Exempt home at Ward and Clark Streets. It was restored for the 1948 NJ State Exempt Parade which was held in Paterson. Thereafter it was located at the 23rd Avenue Firehouse and then the 198 17th Avenue Firehouse. Ultimately it moved to the Paterson Museum on Spruce Street

Restorers took incredible liberties by hiring a painter who reproduced the Currier and Ives Lithograph on the apparatus (a painting that was conceived and lithographed 40 years after Old Gooseneck was built). Also an engine lamp was restored but the glass pieces were from Rescue 1 Hook and Ladder of Passaic, not from a Paterson Company

The pump cylinders were improved allowing more water discharge. Wheels were painted white with gold striping. Inlaid ornaments were added to the side of the apparatus as were 2 beautiful paintings representing the Passaic Falls on one side and the Valley of the Rocks (rapids and mountains) on the other. A splendid signal lamp was mounted on springs (preventing breakage). A beautiful hose reel of highly finished brass was added. See photos below -

May 24, 1871 (Monday): the company moved to the commodious quarters at No. 112 Van Houten Street between Washington and Church Streets (which should not be confused with the 1912 Central Fire Headquarters at 115 Van Houten Street). It was a two story brick building with an iron front and a basement. A third class, double pump engine was acquired from Harrell & Hayes, of Paterson, at a cost of $5,000. Their hose cart was four wheel, carrying 450 feet of fabric hose. The steamer, drawn by horses did good service until January, 1886, when they bought a Button steamer, shown below.
Passaic 1 was the first Paterson company to introduce horses in the department in 1884; followed by the sliding pole, in 1885, and the steam heater in 1886. |

1880 Excursion to New England
At the Exempt Firemen's Association home at Smith and Clark Street in the Parlor facing the door and covering the space over the mantel is a beautifully engrossed resolution by J.W. Russell executed at an expense of $100 for Passaic Engine Company No. 1 after their return from New England in 1880 (shown below). The border work represents columns supporting the coat of arms of Paterson, Salem, Providence and Boston. Entwined around the columns are scrolls containing the names of members and guests who participated in that excursion: firematic emblems are skillfully woven in the work, the capital letter of the word Passaic taking the form of a parade trumpet and a looped cord. Views of the engine and house of the company, and a picture of the Passaic Falls complete the work.
