Albano, Milam Law Creates Firefighter Recognition Day

 

By Herald Staff

TRENTON — Legislation sponsored by Assemblymen Nelson T. Albano and Matthew W. Milam to honor New Jersey firefighters was signed into law Oct. 2.
The resolution (AJR-52) annually establishes Oct. 2 as “Firefighter Recognition Day” and calls upon communities to form partnerships with local fire departments to develop increased fire safety and prevention awareness.
“Firefighters throughout New Jersey are called upon to serve and protect their fellow citizens by responding to horrendous events and acting heroically to save lives in spite of clear danger to themselves,” Milam said. “They’re routinely subjected to danger and called upon to spend time away from their families and loved ones, so it’s fitting to salute our firefighters and the security they bring us.”
“Since the terrorist attacks on this nation on Sept.11, 2001, firefighters throughout New Jersey have been called upon to make even greater sacrifices to ensure the safety and security of Americans,” Albano added. “Those sacrifices have brought to the forefront their daily courage, so recognizing and appreciating the dedicated service of firefighters is the right thing to do.”
The bill passed the Assembly 76-0 and the Senate 39-0.
