Beloved 12-Year Lambertville Fire Chairman Moving On

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — After 12 years of service, the chairman of the Lambertville board of fire commissioners retired from the role Monday.

Al Komjathy, known around town as "Uncle Al," will now focus his time on operating his business, the government affairs Komjathy & Kean. He also serves as a commissioner on the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.

"Al was instrumental in the formation of the current city of Lambertville Fire Department, the consolidation of the [city's] four fire companies, the formation of the career staff, and the purchase of much needed modern equipment," the City of Lambertville Fire District wrote online, calling these "some of his many accomplishments."

In celebrating his time with the fire district, the fire department awarded him a commemorative axe engraved with his name.

"The members of the Lambertville Fire Department are thankful for all that you have accomplished during your tenure," they wrote. "We wish you many years of continued success in everything that you do."
