Raritan Township changed its name to Edison Township in 1954. Raritan Engine Company No. 1 was formed in 1916, Edison Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 was formed in 1917, Raritan Engine Company No. 2 was organized in 1923, H.K. Volunteer Fire Company and Oak Tree Volunteer Fire Company were formed in 1927. Prior to 1958 the companies were in separate fire districts. The Edison Department of Public Safety was formed in 1958 combining the companies. The first paid firefighter was hired in 1926 by Fire District 1. By the mid 1970's all firehouses except Edison Fire Company No. 1 were staffed by career firefighters. In 1992 Edison Fire Company No. 1 was staffed by career firefighters.
