I enjoyed joining our families at Friday’s PAFD Open House during Fire Prevention Week. From trying out the fire extinguisher simulator to getting a closer look at the trucks and equipment, our kids had plenty to explore while learning about fire safety.

Thank you to Chief Mullen and our firefighters for taking the time to teach, answer questions, and make everyone feel welcome. These are lessons families can take home and put into practice.

A special thank you to Alliance Management QSR and our local Dunkin’ team for providing snacks and refreshments. And thank you to everyone who came out to learn and spend time with our PAFD! 🚒

Disfruté compartir con nuestras familias durante la Jornada de Puertas Abiertas del Departamento de Bomberos de Perth Amboy (PAFD) el pasado viernes, como parte de la Semana de Prevención de Incendios. Desde probar el simulador de extintores hasta conocer de cerca los camiones y equipos, nuestros niños tuvieron mucho que explorar mientras aprendían sobre la seguridad contra incendios.

Gracias al Jefe Mullen y a nuestros bomberos por dedicar su tiempo a enseñar, responder preguntas y hacer que todos se sintieran bienvenidos. Estas son lecciones que las familias pueden llevar a casa y poner en práctica.

Un agradecimiento especial a Alliance Management QSR y a nuestro equipo local de Dunkin’ por proporcionar refrigerios y bebidas. ¡Y gracias a todos los que nos acompañaron para aprender y compartir con nuestro Departamento de Bomberos de Perth Amboy! 🚒

Today we remember former volunteer firefighter Michael Verdjak of Eagle Engine Company # 4, who served the City in the 1970’s, prior to moving to Philipsburg where he also served as a firefighter. Please keep the Verdjak Family in your prayers 🙏🏻.

On Friday October 9th at 6pm, we will be hosting our annual open house at Fire Headquarters. Throughout the entire month of October, our firefighters will be at every preschool and elementary school in the city, as well as many day care centers teaching about fire safety. Next Friday, you can come meet firefighters, check out our fire apparatus and equipment, meet Sparky the Fire Dog, have your kids try a junior firefighter obstacle course out, have fun on the fire bouncy houses and so much more.
