On March 15, 2007, the Basking Ridge
Fire Company No. 1 & First Aid Squad welcomed the Reverend
Glenn John Comandini, Pastor of the Church of Saint James in
Basking Ridge, as its honorary Company Chaplain.
Father Glenn has presided at Saint
James since July of 2005, and was previously assigned as

Bernardsville. He is the former Chaplain of the South River
Fire Department, and has also taught at St. John's

Father Glenn was presented with his
