The New Jersey & New York Volunteer Firemen's Association held their annual memorial service at the Bergen County Public Safety Institute, in Mahwah, May 17th. Members of the Bergen and Rockland County volunteer fire departments that have left us in the past year were recognized by firefighters, families and friends. Fortunately, over the past year there was no line-of duty-death.
