Representing the Career Firefighters of the City of Clifton NJ Fire Department
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!!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported Clifton FMBA 21’s Tricky Tray! From our amazing vendors to our generous supporters and dedicated volunteers, you made this event unforgettable. We appreciate each and every one of you, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year! See you in 2026!
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!
