Jersey City Firefighters Honored By Servpro, Northern Trust

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Jersey City firefighters were honored by Northern Trust officials and Servpro on Tuesday.

The Norther Trust Liberty National Golf Club is returning this year from August 18-22 and officials from Northern Trust and Servpro are offering complimentary admission to firefighters from around the Tristate area. The program provides complimentary parking passes or ferry passes, and provides access to a dedicated firefighter concession venue at the tournament, located on 13 green, inspired by the famed firefighter bar in lower Manhattan, O’Hara’s.

The announcement at Jersey City Fire HQ was comprised of several special guest speakers including Servpro CEO Rick Isaacson, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, Jersey City Fire Chief Stephen McGill, and Julie Tyson, Executive Director of THE NORTHERN TRUST. Following the announcement, local firefighters and guests in attendance were provided lunch and enjoyed playing golf games outside the fire house.

“I want to thank the PGA TOUR for all they have done in this city. Their tournaments have been absolute successes here in Jersey City over the past several years between THE NORTHERN TRUST and the Presidents Cup,” said Mayor Steven Fulop. “Each year in this community they contribute substantially to local charities and their generosity is second to none. We are thankful today that they are here to recognize First Responders and Firefighters after what has been a challenging year and a half enduring COVID-19. In times of crisis their service is immeasurable, and this is a small gesture of gratitude from Servpro and the PGA TOUR to honor them.”
