2021 ended on a sad note for the members of the Atlantic City Fire Department when they lost a member of the department, Anthony Carfagno to COVID-19 a few days before Christmas.
Carfagno, 58, from Galloway, had been an Atlantic City firefighter from 1998 until his death. He leaves behind his wife, three children, and three grandchildren.
Funeral services for Anthony are this Saturday, Jan. 8, from 12 pm until 2 pm at the Port Community Church, Main Street, Port Republic. Fire department honors for Carfagno will immediately follow outside the church.
Firefighters are a special breed and they look upon their fellow firefighters as brothers who they come to love and trust with their lives.
A post from Anthony Carfagno's fellow firefighters in the Atlantic City Professional Firefighters Union IAFF L198, NJ FMBA Local 8 caught my attention as a beautiful display of that passion.
