December 6, 2025 — The Upper Saddle River Fire Department announced with deep sadness the passing of former member James D. Levine, honoring a firefighter whose years of service and dedication left a lasting mark on the department.
Levine served the community as a member of the USRFD from May 2002 to February 2019. During his tenure, he contributed significantly to department operations and leadership, serving as Secretary from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2013 to 2015.
His commitment to the fire service extended beyond active duty through his involvement with the USRFD Exempt Association. In recent years, Levine resided at the New Jersey Firemen’s Home in Boonton, where he remained connected to the broader firefighting community.
The Upper Saddle River Fire Department honored Levine for his years of service, dedication, and friendship, and extended its deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who served alongside him. His memory will remain a lasting part of the department’s history.
