This weekend, our members were honored to assist with The Great Spring Carnival at Main Memorial Park! It was an amazing four days filled with thrilling rides, exciting games, delicious food, and endless fun. We’re proud to be part of events that bring our community together and create unforgettable memories! Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a success!
Clifton FMBA 21 had a great time hitting the court for a friendly basketball game with the kids at St. Philip School! A big thank you to Clifton Fire Chief Michael Rowan for his continued support, and to the Knights of Columbus—especially Knight Ray Lill—for helping make the event a success. It was a fun day of community, teamwork, and smiles all around!!
On February 24, 2025, four members of Clifton FMBA 21 put their cooking talents to the test at the annual State FMBA Cooked & Uncorked Event at Pines Manor in Edison, NJ. Representing Clifton were Michael Andrade, Salvatore Guardascione, Michael Cromey, and Tyler Czupak, who served up a delicious brisket with cornbread and a spiced BBQ sauce.
This highly anticipated event brings together firefighters from across New Jersey to showcase their culinary skills while supporting the NJ FMBA Foundation and the Burn Center at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. Clifton’s team demonstrated both their teamwork and passion for great food, making their department proud.
Congratulations to our Clifton FMBA 21 members for their participation and dedication!
The First Annual Clifton Firefighter’s Foundation Golf Outing was a massive success! It was a day filled with fun, laughter, and camaraderie as members of our department, retirees, and neighboring fire/police departments came together.
This premier event not only delivered a day of spirited competition, fun, and mingling but also supported a noble cause. All proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s mission as a 501c3 Non-Profit, which passionately supports various charitable organizations throughout the City of Clifton.
Attendees enjoyed perfect weather, challenging holes, and the chance to catch up with old friends while meeting new ones. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our generous sponsors who made this day possible. Be sure to scroll through the event photos and relive the memorable moments from this incredible day!
Special thank you to all of our sponsors and volunteers!
Clifton FMBA 21 participated in the NJ Firemen’s Home Golf Outing and proudly sponsored a hole during the event. This fundraiser supports the NJ Firemen’s Home located in Boonton, NJ, which serves as a residence for 80 career and volunteer firefighters. The home offers essential care for residents who require assistance due to age, special needs, or lack of family support. The NJ firemen’s home also includes a small museum displaying equipment, photos, and memorabilia from around the entire state.
Our FMBA 21 Tank Pull team for 2024 made a strong showing today, demonstrating our commitment to supporting this annual event and our veterans. With pride, we unveiled our new tent, a valuable addition for our future community engagements. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us, engaging in conversations and showing their support. The Tank Pull Challenge symbolizes resilience, pushing participants to defy the odds by moving an 80,000-pound tank on a flatbed truck. It’s a rallying cry to embrace the challenge and conquer the seemingly impossible. Participation in this competition not only honors our veterans, especially those wounded in combat, but also ensures their sacrifices are remembered and respected.
Today, Clifton FMBA 21 and Clifton PBA 36 joined forces with Kim Castellano of Power of One Ministries to prepare a delicious meal for the senior citizens at Evergreen Manor, situated at 50 Sade Street.
