Congrats to Joseph Callahan Jr. who was recently sworn in as a Ventnor City Firefighter.
His father, Joe Callahan, served as a Ventnor firefighter for 37 years.
A proud day for Ventnor.
Great young man to serve in our town. Glad to see this, congratulations Joe

I, too, was a firefighter for 37 years, in neighboring Margate, pretty much during the same time as Joe, Sr. “Joe Cal” was a legend in the firefighting community. If his son is half the firefighter his dad was, he’ll have a great career.
Congratulations Joe Jr. all the best for your future career in Ventnor. Know you can’t miss knowing your parents and grandparents. Ventnor Fire Fighters are the best
