Photo by RON JEFFERSOver a decade ago, Cliffside Park Firefighter Anthony Lupica assisted Mary, a local resident, handling an emergency call at her home, and he made sure she received assistance. Since that time, when the fire department's holiday tour comes down her block, Mary and Anthony exchange gifts. Ex-Chief Lupica always has a goodie bag of treats for Mary's love, Roxy. Mary has costumes for her pet to celebrate several holidays. She exchanges photos of Roxy in the pet's wardrobes with Lupica. A sincere friendship was created between a first responder and a person in need of assistance.
