==Bayonne Fire Canteen Unit==
The Bayonne Fire Canteen was organized in 1994 by a group of concerned citizens that wanted to serve the Emergency Service Workers who worked tirelessly at the scene of disasters to save life and property by providing a system of comfort.
This small group of volunteers, from Bayonne and surrounding communities, put their ideas to paper, and soon after their rehab unit became a reality.
In the beginning, the Bayonne Fire Canteen did not have a vehicle to respond with. These dedicated volunteers went to the scene of the incident in their private vehicles with jugs of coffee, water and Gatorade. It wasn't until many months later that the first vehicle was obtained. Presently they have three units in service.
