July 1, 1988 – Honoring the Heroes of the Hackensack Ford Fire

Today, we pause to remember the five members of the Hackensack Fire Department who made the ultimate sacrifice while battling the Hackensack Ford Fire on July 1, 1988 alarm #1177.
🕯 Captain Richard Williams
🕯 Lieutenant Richard Reinhagen
🕯 Firefighter Steven Ennis
🕯 Firefighter William Krejsa
🕯 Firefighter Leonard Radumski

Thirty-eight years later, their courage, selflessness, and unwavering dedication continue to inspire generations of firefighters. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Today, we ask everyone to take a moment to remember these brave men, keep their families in your thoughts and prayers, and honor all firefighters who have given their lives in the line of duty, as well as those who continue to answer the call every day in Hackensack and communities across our nation. 🇺🇸

The members of IAFF Locals 2081 & 3172 sincerely thank everyone who has helped preserve the memory of these heroes by sharing stories, offering kind words, and ensuring their legacy lives on.

Please join us tonight at 6:00 PM at Memorial Park for our annual Fallen Firefighter Memorial as we gather to remember, reflect, and honor our fallen brothers.
“Gone, but never forgotten.”
