JERSEY CITY — A member of New Jersey’s royal family — The Springsteens — may become one of Jersey City’s bravest, sources told The Jersey Journal.
Bruce Springsteen’s firefighter son Sam was one of hundreds who took the civil service exam last year to become a firefighter, the sources said. Results were released last week but have not been made public yet.
The city wants to send about 60 of the top scorers to training, according to the sources. Training takes about five months and will occur later this year at an academy in Morristown, after the firefighter hopefuls take required physicals.
Sam Springsteen, 25, is the youngest of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa’s three children. He could not be reached to comment. A spokeswoman for his father declined to comment.
The family appeared together at the Tony Awards in June where Bruce received a special award for his show, “Springsteen on Broadway,” which ran from October 2017 to December 2018.
Sam Springsteen graduated from the Monmouth County Fire Academy in 2014 and joined the all-volunteer Colts Neck Fire Department.
Jersey City has about 600 firefighters.
