Ridgewood NJ, according to Village Manager Keith Kazmark , the Village of Ridgewood signed an updated FMBA Local 47 collective bargaining agreement at Village Hall. It’s a fair contact for both our professional firefighters and for the taxpayers of Ridgewood. To all the members of the Ridgewood Fire Department, thank you for your service to our community and stay safe!

Ridgewood NJ, on August 28 the Ridgewood PBA Local 20 and FMBA Local 47 joined forces to donate a new bicycle to gracious young resident. Jaden was heartbroken to find that his bicycle, which… had been given to him by the FMBA, had been stolen and was unable to be recovered. Members of the FMBA and PBA we’re not satisfied with that outcome and decided to purchase a replacement bicycle for Jaden. He was asked to do three things in return, always lock up his new bike, always wear his helmet and to show his appreciation by doing something kind for someone else. After meeting with Jaden and seeing his appreciation, we have no doubt that he will pay our kindness forward.

Ridgewood NJ, Members of the Ridgewood Professional Firefighters FMBA Local 47 visited the NJ Fireman’s Home in Boonton recently. Each Friday in the summer months the Northern District of the NJFMBA has sent a local to help out at the resident’s picnics. This is our second year doing this and we hope to be a part of this for a long time, for it is a great day for all.
