Bergen County Firemen’s Home Annual June Barbecue
On the afternoon of June 8, 2024, the Bergen County Firemen’s Home Association sponsored their annual barbecue for residents and their families at the NJ State Firemen’s Home in Boonton. This annual picnic is paid for the Bergen County Firemen’s Home Association with the generosity from fire departments all over Bergen County.
We lucked out with a sunny, warm day getting residents and their families outside to enjoy the nice weather and wonderful food. The members of the kitchen staff along with our member and grillmaster, NJ State Firemen’s Association President, and member Bob Ordway, cooked a wonderful barbecue lunch that included chili, hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, macaroni salad, corn on the cob, baked beans, and fresh watermelon for dessert. The members of the Bergen County Firemen’s Home Association assisted the kitchen staff and acted as servers. We were entertained by Cowboy David Remlis, who entertained us at the February meeting.
This wonderful event could not happen without the help of the staff of the Firemen's Home, especially the activities and kitchen staff, which does such a great job cooking the food and providing the set up and getting the residents outside.
At the end of the barbecue our membership got together and took their traditional group shot. It was another great barbecue and everyone left happy. It was a great barbecue with another planned in August of this year. We look forward to another wonderful day of food and entertainment.

AFGAND SAFER REAUTHORIZATION BILLPASSES SENATE, SENTTO PRESIDENTTO BECOME LAW
On June18, 2024, by a vote of 88 to 2, the US Senate passed the Fire Grants and Safety Act (S.870), a bill to reauthorize the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant programs, as well as the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) through fiscal year (FY) 2028. The legislation also extended the sunset date for AFG and SAFER to September 30, 2030. The bill has been sent to the President to be signed into law. Once signed, these programs will be protected for the next several years, ensuring that the fire and emergency services can continue to access vital federal support.
The final passage of this bill resulted from a coordinated, multi-year advocacy effort by CFSI, members of CFSI’s National Advisory Committee, and our Capitol Hill partners. The path was long and challenging, but working together, fire and emergency services organizations prevailed in reauthorizing the grant programs.
“The core mission of CFSI is consensus building, and for over 24 years, we have worked collaboratively with the other national organizations to preserve and fund these two programs, as well as the United States Fire Administration,” said Bill Webb, CFSI’s Executive Director. “It is our honor to have led this most recent effort to reauthorize AFG, SAFER, and USFAin this challenging political environment.”
Hill Champions
They include: House and Senate Leadership who made the votes on the Fire Grants and Safety Act possible: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell; Speaker of the House Mike Johnson; House Majority Leader Steve Scalise; House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Committee Leadership who were original cosponsors of the bill and ensured that the legislation was able to move through the House and Senate committee processes successfully: Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Gary Peters; House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Chairman Frank Lucas; House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren.
The success of this effort illustrates the importance of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus in uniting members of Congress to work together on fire service issues regardless of political affiliations. We owe a debt of gratitude to a large group of members who were instrumental in passing this legislation.
Congressional Fire Services Caucus CoChairs who demonstrate their strong support for the fire and emergency services every day and played vital roles in supporting this legislation: Senator Susan Collins* - Lead Republican on the Senate version of the Fire Grants and Safety Act; Senator Tom Carper - original cosponsor of the Fire Grants and Safety Act and a negotiator on the bill; Senator Jon Tester - original cosponsor of the Fire Grants and Safety Act and Chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus in the 118th Congress; Senator Lisa Murkowski - original cosponsor of the Fire Grants and Safety Act; Congressman Bill Pascrell* - Lead Democrat on the House version of the Fire Grants and Safety Act; Congressman Steny Hoyer - original cosponsor of the Fire Grants and Safety Act; Congressman Mike Bost - original cosponsor of the Fire Grants and Safety Act; Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick - original cosponsor of the Fire Grants and Safety Act.
