Great day out on the diamond!

Members of Clifton FMBA Local 21 had an amazing time today out with the Clifton P.R.A.I.S.E. Baseball League! Our firefighters jumped in for a few innings to play alongside and mentor these incredible young athletes.

These kids are seriously talented and put on a great show! It was a blast for everyone involved, and we’re honored to support such a wonderful program in our community.

A big thank you to Coach Bob for having us out today!

Clifton Girl Scouts

Posted on By Clifton FMBA 21

The Clifton Girl Scouts recently visited Fire Station 4 to learn more about the firefighting profession and spend time with our crew. During their visit, they had the opportunity to see the apparatus up close, ask questions, and gain insight into the work we do every day.

Of course, no visit would be complete without a little tradition, the Scouts also brought along their famous cookies and made a few sales to our firefighters!

We’re proud to support the Clifton Girl Scouts and always enjoy opportunities to connect with members of our community. Thank you for stopping by!
