As the Belleville Fire Department and our mutual aid partners continue to battle this fire, I wanted to share a moment from Sunday.

It was intense. Chaotic. At times, it truly felt like something out of Dante’s Inferno.

Looking back through the photos, this one stood out. One of the departments assisting us was Paramus. Pictured here is Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, suited up and on the line, fighting the fire right here in Belleville. He’s a veteran firefighter with over 40 years of service as a volunteer, including serving as the former Chief of the Paramus Fire Department.

The night was so busy, we never even crossed paths. I didn’t even know he was here until seeing this photo.

He showed up to do the work, not for recognition, not for politics. That’s what real leadership looks like.

Thanks Jim.

As a proud veteran and healthcare provider, I pause today to honor the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication.

Service is a lifelong commitment to something greater than oneself. Whether on the battlefield, in hospitals, classrooms, or communities, veterans continue to serve in countless ways that strengthen the fabric of our nation.

To my fellow service members past and present: thank you. Your courage reminds us what it truly means to lead, protect, and persevere.

(I don’t like taking pictures In uniform so every year you’re gonna get a rotation of the same 5 pictures, despite 16 years In the U.S. Army 🤣. This year is my last and no I’m not staying for 20…)
