On February 11, 2025, local Town residents John Bailey, Sr., and John Bailey, Jr., demonstrated bravery and heroism when they took action during a fire in a potentially life-threatening situation. The residents observed a fire at the 200 block of Mountain View and Upton in Kearny and courageously, selflessly and without hesitation used water hoses from adjacent homes to slow the spread of a fire.

Their actions protected the homes and property of citizens of Kearny and provided crucial time for Town Of Kearny Emergency Personnel to arrive and fight the fire and keep the fire from spreading to adjacent homes. On February 18th, 2025, Kearny Town Council presented John Bailey, Sr., and John Bailey, Jr., with a gift of appreciation for their efforts.
