Exempt Association
The Rockaway Borough Exempt Association is part of the New Jersey State Exempt Firemen's Association. The NJSEFA is an organization that was formed for the charitable purpose of organizing and coordinating all of the local exempt fire associations in the state of New Jersey, thus lessening the burden of government in this process.. The NJSEFA also provides a venue for mentoring and support within the ranks of the fire service from those members who have earned their exemption and from their experience can lead and assist the new members of the fire service as they take up the protective fire service in both career and volunteer fire departments. The founders of this organization were people who had the foresight and the understanding that as time moved on, the fire service in New Jersey would change and that our "Great Association" would be there to assist the fire service in meeting those new challenges.
