The annual Knights of Columbus Shield Awards honored our emergency responders on May 21, 2014, at St. Bart's. Fanwood Fire Chief John Piccola (far left) acknowledged Capt. Frank Dietl, firefighter Dan Piccola, firefighter Tony Grasso Jr, Lt. Kris Piccola, firefighter Brian Piccola and firefighter Zach Weissglass (not pictured) all received awards for outstanding service during a technical rescue of a senior citizen who had fallen down an embankment near the train tracks behind a South Avenue business last year. Congratulations, gentlemen!
