 * Just asking, but who are you in relation to my old FD? NBFDT2 (talk) 17:30, 26 April 2023 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by "FD"? Nightscream (talk) 17:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * FD short hand for Fire Department. North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue and prior to that North Bergen Fire Department of which I was a chief officer.

 * I have no relation to the fire department. My edits are based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, as I stated on the talk page of the IP you had been using. Nightscream (talk) 13:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Nighthawk, maybe you can be of help then. If you look back at our NHRFR Wikipedia page, you will se that I am the one who added much of the history. My being the last one to retire on a city contract is of historical perspective to the whole regionalization of the department. For some reason just that sentence is always removed and not the rest of what I wrote. Is there any way you can assist in returning this back to the original as shown below? Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thank you, Retired Battalion Chief Jim McMains. 🙏
 * The North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue (NHRFR) was established on January 11, 1999. The former fire departments of North Bergen, Union City, Weehawken, West New York, and Guttenberg were merged to provide a safer, more efficient fire department. A buyout was offered by the State giving any members with at least 20 years of service, up to an additional 5 years towards their 25 year required time for retirement. Through this attrition the department was able to pair down on the number of personnel in the newly formed Department. Most Firefighters from all of the Departments that had the time, took advantage of it and retired under their own prior Departments retirement contract and benefits. The last member to retire from the NHRFR under a former FD city contract was Battalion Chief James McMains on December 31,1999 from the Township of North Bergen, under the NBFD Officers contract. From that point on a new contract was negotiated for the NHRFR and former city contracts no longer existed. From that point a new contract was negotiated for the NHRFR, and former city contracts no longer existed NBFDT2 (talk) 14:36, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
