TODAY IS THE DAY! Come on out to support one of our own. Erica Reneé has a history of supporting Jefferson, now she needs help. This Wednesday, Gatwyns will donate a portion of their sales to help Erica. Includes lunch service too. I also hear it's steak night! Hope to see you there. If you can't make it to Gatwyns, here is a link to her Go Fund Me. Thank you to everyone. Jefferson is an awesome community. https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-ericas-fight-for-health-and-healing

The Jefferson Township Rescue Squad extends their deepest condolences to Mount Arlington Fire & Rescue on the loss of Firefighter Escobar. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the Escobar family during this difficult time.

If anyone would like to help this young man's family, the fire department has set up a Go Fund me. https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-firefighter-diego-escobars-memory?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&fbclid=IwY2xjawL-P8BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHjvYTSBB94I_Tv8pw3cNfJb8kS_0sbKcDypvoBT05a_VK3vpLjJpWBT5lJbq_aem_Sz-t-avlz4OuRA1f5OYGdA

It is with heavy hearts that The Mount Arlington Fire Department announces the passing of Diego Escobar. Diego joined our department this year and successfully completed the requirements of Firefighter training. We are saddened by this news and are asking for prayers for his family during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time. Godspeed Brother, we have it from here!
