                A TRIBUTE TO THE NUTLEY FIRE DEPARTMENT

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 1, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Nutley 
Fire Department as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. I am very proud 
to join the township of Nutley in honoring and thanking this 
organization for its decades of service.
  The Nutley Fire Department was originally founded on March 5, 1894, 
when the town was known as Franklin Township. The original company was 
known as Yantacaw Hose Company and, in fact, the original hose cart is 
still in the department. A second company was formed on April 5, 1895, 
and the final volunteer company, West Nutley Hose No. 2, was formed on 
March 14, 1906.
  Over the next few years, several volunteer firefighters became paid 
drivers assigned to their respective companies. In 1938, the paid 
company was formally established with members becoming civil service 
employees.
  Today, the Nutley Fire Department is one of only two volunteer 
departments in New Jersey with a paid contingency. Under the leadership 
of Chief Larry Lampariello and Executive Officer Charlie Kucinski, Jr., 
the Nutley Fire Department provides the town's residents with first-
class fire protection a minimal cost.
  For the past 100 years, the township of Nutley has benefited from the 
service of the Nutley Fire Department. For the valued efforts of these 
firefighters, I join with my colleagues in commending the assistance 
and protection that they have provided.
