The Clifton Fire Department would like to extend our sincere thanks to local resident Joel Matalon of Joe Fitness World for his generous donation of fitness equipment to Fire Stations 5 and 6.

This contribution directly supports the health, wellness, and operational readiness of our firefighters. Maintaining peak physical condition is essential to performing the demanding duties required to protect and serve our community, and this equipment will play a key role in helping our members stay prepared while reducing the risk of injury.

We are grateful for the continued support from community partners like Joel, who recognize the importance of investing in those who serve.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to the Clifton community.

The Clifton Fire Department proudly congratulates Firefighter Cortes on his retirement after 25 years of dedicated service to our department and the City of Clifton.
Throughout his career, FF Cortes exemplified professionalism, commitment, and pride in the fire service. He was a firefighter you could always count on — and, as many of us know, the best hugs in the firehouse came from FF Cortes.
His contributions, hard work, and camaraderie will not be forgotten, and his presence on the job will truly be missed.
We thank FF Cortes for his service and sacrifice and wish him and his family continued health, happiness, and plenty of well-deserved time off in this next chapter.
Enjoy retirement — you’ve more than earned it!
