Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters of the Ambulance Corp. A good man taken way too soon. RIP

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and fellow member, Glenn O’Connor.

Glenn joined our organization in 2012 and faithfully served both our agency and the community with unwavering commitment. Throughout his years of service, he held many important roles, including EMT, Field Training Officer, and Council Officer as Treasurer. His dedication, professionalism, and friendship made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

On behalf of our entire organization, we extend our deepest condolences to Glenn’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

This morning, Fort Lee Fire Department in conjunction with Fort Lee Police and Ambulance Corp organized a demonstration for the Fort Lee High School senior class on the consequences of driving under the influence.

The line between life and death is a fine one; always use your best judgement, and never get behind the wheel while under the influence. Stay safe, Fort Lee!

For the past 2 1/2 days the members of the East Bergen Rappel Team held our annual recertification at the Bergen County Fire Academy.

Great job by all the senior and new members, and a thank you to the Academy Instructors.

Not an hour after our training seminar on basement fires concluded, the Fort Lee Fire Department was dispatched to respond mutual aid to the Boro of Leonia for a working fire. FL-7, FL-9 and Ladder 1 responded. A fire that happened to be a basement fire. Great job by all.

This morning, the Fort Lee Fire Department hosted two East Bergen Mutual Aid legends to further our education. Jersey Guys, John Lewis and Rob Moran instructed a packed house on Basement Fires. We would also like to thank our East Bergen Mutual Aid brothers and sisters who joined us for the training. We look forward to having both back in town in the near future for more training.
