Eligible lists resulting from the 2018 written examination were issued on March 22nd, 2019. If you passed the written portion of the examination, your name will appear on the list(s) for which you qualify based upon your veteran status, rank (written test score), volunteer points, and residency. This list is now in its fourth and final year and will reach its statutory maximum on March 28, 2023. If your rank is high enough on a list, AND Fire Fighter vacancies exist in your eligible residency jurisdiction(s), your name may be certified to that jurisdiction’s Appointing Authority (AA) for further consideration. 

As the new State Fiscal year begins, the PFRSNJ Board conducts formal reorganization at the July meeting. Ed Donnelly was once again voted as Chairman of the Board in a unanimous  vote. This provides continuity of leadership during a crucial stage of the formal transfer process with the State Treasurer and Division of Investment. The Chair, Executive Director, and Chief Financial Officer provided a public update on the transition negotiation process. Substantial progress has been made in terms of finalizing a memorandum of understanding with the State on a number of discussion points. With the progress towards formal transfer, Board and Management attention is now centering on ensuring the PFRS ability to receive the fund assets.
