Fire department reports mutual-aid assists and offers crew/engine support for World Cup
Summary
The borough fire department reported 11 calls for service in the month (62 man-hours), several mutual-aid responses in early June, and offered one crew and engine 4-3 to Bergen County for World Cup support while 4-3 undergoes equipment mounting.
The borough’s fire department presented monthly activity and said it has offered resources to neighboring agencies for the upcoming World Cup events at regional stadiums.
"So for us on the Jersey side, we don't have to deal with the New York City... So for us on the World Cup period, we've offered our crew and 4-3 engine," a council member reporting the fire update said, listing 11 calls for service so far this month (62 man-hours) and year-to-date totals of 131 calls and 1,026 man-hours. The report included mutual-aid assistance to North Vale, Hillsdale and Rivervale on separate working house fires in early June and noted that engine 4-3 remains out of service while equipment is mounted.
The council noted that the department conducted monthly training and that the engine and crew made available to Bergen County would provide surge support during high-demand event days. No changes to staffing or budget requests were put forward at the meeting; the report closed with a request that the council be aware of mutual-aid commitments during large regional events.
