At 11:26PM, Companies were dispatched to Holsman & Haledon Ave for a possible fire. On arrival, Battalion 3 found 28 Piercy, a very large industrial building, heavily involved with fire. The incident quickly went to three alarms, and eventually to additional alarms due to water supply issues in the area.
The building appears to be unoccupied, and at the time of posting, no fatalities or injuries have been reported.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT 🚨

This past Monday, the Paterson Fire Officers Association Local 202 proudly endorsed Alex Mendez for Mayor of Paterson 2026!

For the past 8 years, our city has faced serious and ongoing challenges that have directly impacted public safety, our members, and the residents we serve every day. From chronic staffing issues to a growing number of grievances and unresolved contract disputes, the current administration has failed to provide the leadership needed to support first responders and protect our community.

At the same time, the city is now requesting a record $78 million in state transitional aid—a staggering 136% increase from the $33 million received in 2025.
That is not progress—that is a clear sign the current direction is not working.

Paterson deserves better—much better.

We are supporting Alex Mendez because we believe the time has come to embrace new leadership, accountability, and a fresh approach. Alex has demonstrated a willingness to listen to those on the front lines and address the real issues affecting public safety, including staffing shortages, engaging in fair contract negotiations, and improving our operational support.

Our members put their lives on the line every day. We need a mayor who will stand with us—not against us—and who is committed to moving Paterson forward.

We stand united in supporting Alex Mendez for Mayor!

🗳️ Vote Alex Mendez – Column 1A
