On Monday, August 31, 2009, Firefighter James McGoldrick retired as a carear firefighter with the Bergenfield Fire Department after 31 years on the job.

Jim was appointed on August 1, 1978 and has been a force with the children of Bergenfield and all of the fire prevention programs the BFD runs.  Better known to the kids as “Fireman Jim” he and other membes of the department would visit the schools and stress the importance of fire safety and awareness.

The officers and members of the department would like to thank Jim for his many years of service and dedication to the Borough of Bergenfield and the Bergenfield Fire Department.  We would like to wish Jim all the best in his retirement.
