Representing the Career Firefighters of the City of Clifton NJ Fire Department
Clifton Firefighters are looking for donations of new unwrapped toys for boys and girls of all ages this holiday season to be dropped off at any Clifton Fire Station.
Drop-Off Locations:
The Clifton Fire Department is currently accepting donations for our Annual Pet Drive. Please take a look at the attached flyer to see the items needed. There is also a QR code for the Amazon wishlist. All the items donated will go directly to supporting our very own Clifton Animal Shelter!
The Pet Drive will extend throughout the entire month of November. Donations can be delivered to Fire HQ, situated in the City Hall complex at 880 Clifton Ave. You’ll find a yellow bin on the porch of Fire HQ for placing your contributions.
Thank you for your support!
For all those who have placed orders for the Paul Wendling Tee Shirt Fundraiser, we are currently organizing the orders for your convenience. You may collect your order at our FMBA 21 Union Hall, located at 219 Valley Road. The pickup date is scheduled for Saturday, October 28, 2023, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
October is Fire Prevention Month. Our very own Clifton FMBA 21 member and Clifton Fire Department Historian Charles Stauhs set up a showcase at the Allwood Branch Library. Please stop in to check out a collection of Clifton Fire Department memorabilia and historic photographs. Also available for lending is several copies of our 100th Anniversary Book donated by author and former Department Chief Kevin McCarthy. Fire Prevention Month is an important time to raise awareness about fire safety. This display is excellent way to honor the history of the department and educate people about fire safety.
Congrats to two of our members for making Firehouse Magazine. FF Oleg Skachko and LT Mark Drew received a community service award for the efforts of arranging donations of protective equipment for the people of Ukraine. See the article below.
