FRS & FD Service Awards

Fanwood Fire Department and Rescue Squad volunteers received awards for up to 45 years of service to our town at their annual awards dinner on January 21, 2023. Mayor Colleen Mahr was on hand to swear-in the FD and FRS officers. Congratulations to those volunteers who were recognized for their years of service. Because there was no awards dinner in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID, awards for those years were also presented, to wit:
