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!

Yesterday, the New Milford Fire Department took delivery of a 2023 Sea Ark 1660 MVT 16’ tunnel hull boat for flood and rescue operations. This acquisition came at a zero dollar cost to borough taxpayers thanks to the Department’s aggressive grant writing program. This boat was purchased through a NJ State Legislative Grant supported by state Senator Joe Lagana.
Since 2014 the NMFD’s grant writing program has brought in $2mil dollars for updating aging fire department equipment and apparatus.
Thanks to the Mayor and Councils present and past for their support and assistance with these projects.
