We are pleased to present the 2022 and 2023 Firefighter 1 graduates. Congratulations to our graduates Dakota Romeo, Tommy Ryan, AJ Teehan, Nick Sinanian and to all the graduates who officially graduated The Bergen County Law and Public Safety Fire Academy tonight held at the Bergen Academies.

You should all be proud of yourselves, your hard work has paid off. Now take the knowledge you’ve learned and put it to good use. Good luck as you start the next chapters of your firefighting careers.

We want to leave you with these two quotes.

“Don’t train till you get it right, train till you can’t get it wrong.”

“Good Firefighters will know their job. GREAT Firefighters will also know the job of the person above them as well as teach their job to the person below them.”

Remember never stop training!

Earlier today companies responded to the 400 block of Luhmann dr. for a fire in a detached garage. First due units arrived on scene and confirmed smoke from the garage. Inside the garage companies found a small fire. The fire was quickly knocked down with a hand line, searches were conducted and proved to be negative. The fire was quickly brought under control. Units were on scene for just over an hour.

Special thank you to our mutual aid companies on scene and staffed in our firehouse.
