A 2 Vi story frame dwelling that is scheduled to be demolished was recently given to the Hawthorne Fire Department for their use in training. All HFD companies and Glen Rock firefighters responded on Sunday, February 27th to the structure that was fully smoked to simulate a basement fire. Well experienced members taught the newer members hose stretching, searching, venting, and many other needed operations. Having an actual structure to train on is extremely useful. The firefighters left with much more useful information than they arrived with.

After 39-years of service, North Hudson Fire & Rescue Chief of Department Frank Montagne, left, retired on February 18th. The chief started his career with the former North Bergen Fire Department, before the regional department was organized in 1999. His "walk-out," at Fire Headquarters, was filled with family members, friends and firefighters from numerous municipalities, as far as Perth Amboy, and members of the state Division of Fire Safety. Montagne's two sons, who are members of the Jersey City Fire Department, were in attendance, in uniform. Frank Jr., is a member of Ladder Co. 11 and Anthony is assigned to Engine Co. 5. Chief Montagne said, "Who can say, every day you go to work and enjoy what you do? I loved going to work, every day."
