WEST PATERSON NJ ANNUAL FIRE EXPO CANCELLED FOR 2014 - Richard_L_Dean_07405 - 04-10-2014
May 4th was supposed to be the 23rd annual Fire Expo hosted by the Rifle Camp Fire Co. 3 of the West Paterson Fire Department, Woodland Park NJ. Sadly it has been cancelled for this year. Members plan to resume it next year.
This is because the centrennial celebration of both the West Paterson Fire Department and the Borough of Woodland Park (formerly West Paterson) is scheduled for May 17 which includes a big parade. Unfortunately the amount of work involved for the all volunteer firefighters has proved to be so overwhelming a decision has been made to cancel it.
As secretary of the North Jersey Volunteer Firemen's Association of which West Paterson 3 companies have always been a very active part of, I was requested to spread the word. The Fire Expo which began as a firematic flea market and mug swap as proven to be very popular with vendors and attendees coming from all over the area of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and even farther away.
