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!

Clifton FMBA 21 is proud to recognize the invaluable work of Chief Victor Scrivens and the North Jersey Fire Canteen in providing rehab services on fire scenes. Rehab is a critical part of firefighter safety, ensuring that members have the opportunity to rest, rehydrate, and recharge with food and refreshments while working in demanding and dangerous conditions.

Knights of Columbus Tank Pull 2025

Clifton FMBA 21 Takes 2nd Place at 2025 Army Tank Pull Challenge

On Sunday, June 8, 2025, Clifton FMBA Local 21 brought strength, spirit, and solidarity to the 15th Annual Army Tank Pull Challenge, hosted by the New Jersey Knights of Columbus and Catholic Charities.

With a full 20-member team, we powered through the competition and pulled strong with an outstanding time of 6.38 seconds! At the time of this post, we were ranked in Second Place overall. We also want to spotlight John Bednarz and Cody Bleaken, who impressed everyone by pulling the 80,000 lb tank in 24.97 seconds during the lowest weight category, with a combined weight of only 447 lbs. Incredible effort by both!

Beyond the competition, it was a day filled with great memories, strong bonds, and support for a cause that matters. We were proud to stand side by side with our brothers from Clifton PBA 36 at our tent, enjoying the camaraderie, cornhole games, and good vibes. Huge thanks to Chief Rowan and Deputy Chief Legates for their hands-on support that helped push us toward victory.

This event wasn’t just about muscle—it was about community, charity, and unity, and we were honored to assist in raising funds for such a meaningful cause. To everyone who showed up early, brought the family, helped rally the team, or just stopped by to cheer us on—you helped make the day special. And a final thank-you to the Knights of Columbus for organizing another phenomenal event.
