Ridgewood NJ, Thursday 5/25/2023: Susan, a village resident, approached “B” shift while conducting our daily platoon drill in the Central Business district to say thank you.

Bombace and Rohrman were assigned to Ladder 36 that day and successfully made the rescue. Little did Susan know that Fire Fighter.
