Goods donated to fire department

“They were there when I needed them,” said Anna Brown. “I thought I could say thank you and help them in this way.”

The ‘they’ who helped the Brown family is the Adrian Volunteer Fire Department. They quickly responded to the Brown property, west of Passaic, when a pasture caught fire. The fire was extinguished just before it would have reached a large propane tank and possibly buildings on the property.
