Looking Back

PERTH AMBOY  – Firefighters honor the remembrance of Albert Muska, who died in WWII. Shown is the laying of a wreath and unveiling of a plaque at the Garfield Humane Firehouse on Amboy Avenue circa early 1990’s. When the firehouse was sold, the plaque was given to the Fireman’s Museum and is on display there. Every year, the Muska family donates a wreath to be presented at the Fireman’s Memorial in Alpine Cemetery in honor of Albert Muska, Ernest M. Muska and Francis X. Muska, and John Muska who all served in WWII. The ceremony is held on the third Wednesday in May every year.
