The Environmental Commission conducts reviews on the use and possible use of the open land areas and may coordinate the activities of unofficial bodies organized for similar purposes. The Commission may advertise, prepare, print and distribute books, maps, charts, plans and pamphlets relating to its function. It maintains an index of all open areas, publicly or privately owned, including open marshlands, swamps, and other wetlands, in order to obtain information on the proper use of such areas. Occasionally it recommends to the Planning Board, or the Township Committee, plans and programs for inclusion in the Master Plan and the development and use of such areas. The Commission also studies and makes recommendations concerning open space preservation, water resources management, air pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, soil and landscape protection, environmental appearance, marine resources, and protection of flora and fauna. The Commission is also involved in the development review process and may submit a report to the Planning Board. A report from the Environmental Commission is required wherever an application includes an environmental impact statement. The Commission consists of seven members and meet at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month in Town Hall on 111 Greenbrook Rd, Green Brook, NJ 08812.

If it is an emergency - CALL 911 Mission Statement The purpose of this Department shall be to provide fire, rescue and Emergency Medical Services. The preservation of lives, the protection of property, and the giving of aid to all victims of sudden illness, accident, or act of nature shall be paramount. We are currently looking for new members to join the fire company. If you are interested and would like to join, please stop in to see us. We are there on Monday nights for drill nights. You can help serve the community and be a part of the Green Brook Fire-EMS family. Like us Facebook: @gbfdems Our Volunteer Fire Company In November, 1927, two garages and a house were destroyed by fire due to the inability of neighboring towns’ fire department to respond to the fire call in time to save these properties. Realizing the seriousness of inadequate fire protection, a group of men – Clarence Scheurman, William Scheurman, George Wadge, Fred Fink, John B. Buckalew, Joseph Tetlow, Edward J. Kappelmann and William Gaub – organized the first fire company of Green Brook. A sum of approximately $500 was raised by public subscription and with this money they bought an old 1918 Republic Truck equipped with two 40-gallon acid and soda tanks. This put the new North Plainfield Township Volunteer Fire Company (its name changed to Green Brook Volunteer Fire Company in 1932) in business. Lacking suitable storage space for their truck, Fred Fink offered the use of his garage (without doors) as a fire house. With a treasury balance of $100, doors were installed on Fink’s garage (in lieu of rent) and a siren purchased for $35.00. Pressed for space they bought the “Little Gray School House” for one dollar in 1928 and moved it to the site it occupied until 1971. This one room building, built around 1857 was the seat of learning for Green Brook children for over 70 years. It was this building which became part of Green Brook’s first fire house. Later expanded to include a garage and meeting room, it has served Green Brook well and laudable as a functional and entertainment center until October, 1971, when the new firehouse was erected. How to join: As a Volunteer Firefighter, you will be required to perform a wide variety of tasks. These tasks are very diverse and may include rescue and care of victims; fire prevention; cleanup; hazardous containment; and/or community service. Firefighters will complete the NJ Firefighter I course, the NJSP Hazardous materials Awareness course, and the SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) training.
