Good Morning Englewood
"Good Morning Englewood" is a program where the Englewood Fire Department will check daily on the welfare of our Senior Citizens, differently-abled residents, or those residents who may have special needs, but who live alone, with no one to look in on them on a daily basis. It's our way of providing our residents, and their families, the peace of mind that comes from knowing that someone is looking out for them 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If you feel this program would be of assistance to you or your loved one, and you meet the program criteria, feel free to call Fire Headquarters at 201-871-6694 or 201-871-6693, between 8 am and 3 pm and we'll make an appointment to come see you. You may also submit an appointment request through the city's QAlert Citizen Service Request System (CSRS).

- Who can participate?

- How does it work?
-
Every morning, between 8:30 am to 9:30 am, a member of the Fire Department will call the program participant (please note that calls may sometimes be slightly delayed due to emergency responses and the volume of residents participating in the program) to check that they are alright. If no answer, a second call will be made a few minutes later. If there is no answer on the second call, Fire Department units, including Emergency Medical Technicians, will be dispatched to the address to check on the welfare of the resident.
- How Do I Get Started?
-
Before starting the program, a representative from the Fire Department will interview the applicant and/or their authorized representative. During this interview, we will collect medical data and other information which may be valuable in an emergency if the resident were unable to communicate. Information collected is confidential, in accordance with all applicable regulations, and the participants written authorization.
