Hackensack Union Firefighters Honored at Bergen County 200 Club Awards On October 14, 2026, members of Hackensack Fire Department’s 2nd Platoon, representing Hackensack Fire IAFF Locals 2081 and 3172, were honored with the John R. Rinaldi Unit Citation Award at the Bergen County 200 Club’s J. Fletcher Creamer, Sr. Valor Awards. Firefighters Mike Rainville and Nicholas Webster were specifically recognized for their extraordinary courage and bravery earning them the Meritorious Service Award. This award with the Unit Citation was for a life-saving water rescue on January 6, 2026, when a vehicle plunged into the Hackensack River near the Court Street Bridge. Under the command of Deputy Chief Derevyanik, crews faced freezing water, darkness, and a rising tide to rescue a driver trapped inside the vehicle. Firefighters Rainville and Webster entered the frigid river to assist the victim, while crews worked together to safely bring the driver to shore for medical treatment. This incident demonstrated the courage, teamwork, and dedication of Hackensack’s firefighters. The successful rescue was also supported by specialized water rescue training completed in 2025 through a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG). Shout out to the Englewood Firefighters and Fire Officers IAFF Locals for their Meritorious Service Award for a fire on March 6th 2026. Our Hackensack PBA members also received a Distinguished Service Award to Officers Angeles, Caneja, and Vicale for an incident on July 19th, 2026. Congratulations to all the members recognized for their heroic actions and commitment to saving lives!
