Thank you all for making our first annual Tricky Tray a great success! Hope to see you next year in 2024!
Congrats to our FMBA 21 Cooking Team at the NJ FMBA Cooked and Corked event held annually at the Pines Manor in Edison NJ. FMBA 21 members Bob Hoogmoed III, Michael Andrade, Michael Cromey, and Sal Guardascione placed third place for the firehouse category judges choice.

FMBA Local 21 is grateful for the contributions of countless Clifton residents that stopped into our fire houses over the past few weeks to donate gifts to our annual Toy Drive. Thanks to you, Christmas will be merrier for hundreds of Clifton children. Over 500 gifts were collected and donated to The Boys and Girls Club of Clifton for distribution to local residents in need.
