This past weekend, Platoon 3 was honored at the NJ FMBA Valor Awards, receiving a Group Effort Award for their outstanding teamwork and dedication.

In addition, two of our members—Jameel Sanders and Ryan Szumski—were each awarded the Silver Medal of Valor for their courageous actions during a fire on Front Street.

We are incredibly proud of our members and the hard work, bravery, and professionalism they demonstrate every day.

We were also honored to be joined by Adrian O Mapp who was recently endorsed for Congress by FMBA Local 7 and FMBA Local 207. Mayor Mapp was there to witness our members receive their well-deserved awards and continues to be a strong supporter of our department.

Congratulations to all—well deserved!
