Meet Our Wolf Den Inductee for July 2024, Nick Barber
This month we are honoring Nick Barber for his service as a volunteer firefighter for over 35 years with the City of Middletown, New York. He is pictured above with his son Trevor and grandson Bennett. His wife, Brigitte sent us this nomination about Nick.
My husband has been a volunteer firefighter for over 35 years in the city of Middletown. He has devoted the majority of his lifetime to firefighting. He recently ended his tenure as Chief for the City of Middletown after 12 years of serving as Assistant Chief and then Chief. I know volunteers don't receive the respect or recognition they truly deserve. My husband has always been very humble and does not volunteer for recognition, he does it because he loves being a volunteer firefighter. Many times he has gone from fighting a fire all night to come home, shower and go to his full-time job. I want to thank my husband for his many years of service and the dedication he has provided to the City of Middletown.

The Wolf Den of Heroes Celebrates First Responders in Our Community
For the last several years here at The Wolf, we've been trying to figure out a way to put a spotlight on the first responders in our community. They do so much for us and leave their families at a moment's notice to help out our neighbors in need.
We decided the least we could do is give them the spotlight on Wakin' Up With CJ and Jess and social media as a 'thank you' for all they do. Then, our partners at Mental Health America Dutchess County and Mid Hudson Pump jumped on board with their support and because of them each month the first responder Wolf Den Inductee receives a gift of $250.
