Capt. Gregory Barnas, we salute your service to our city and our citizens

Jersey City Fire Captain Gregory Barnas was one of the guys who answered the midnight call. When everything has gone to hell and you need the JCFD you had the comfort of knowing a firefighter like Barnas was on his way. The Jersey Journal explains the accident that took him from us:

Barnas, 57, a 29-year veteran with the Jersey City Fire Department and a longtime volunteer with the Wallington Fire Department, died last Friday when he fell from the roof of the Alaska Japanese Restaurant on Paterson Avenue in Wallington. He was venting the roof to help put out the fire at the establishment.

Thank you Captain Barnas. Thank you for your selfless 29 years of service answering that midnight call. Best thoughts of comfort to the Barnas family, two of which are firefighters themselves.
