01-2-5589 Newfield Fire Company No. 1 vs. Borough of Newfield, App. Div. (Lihotz, J.A.D.) (17 pp.) We consider the scope of N.J.S.A. 40A:14-68, which allows a municipality to exercise “supervision and control” over a volunteer fire company designated as its official firefighting organization. Rejecting challenges by the plaintiff fire company, we conclude the statute allows the defendant borough to use an ordinance to set forth the terms and conditions upon which it would engage the volunteer fire company to perform the governmental function of firefighting.
