At approximately 0730 hrs., the Bergenfield Fire Department was dispatched to the area of New Bridge Rd. and Highgate Terr. for a reported MVA with rollover.  Lieutenant Kirsch was the first officer on scene and reported the driver was out of the rolled over vehicle, but a door would need to be popped on a vehicle involved in the crash.  

Members immediately went to work to remove the door while BVAC attended to the patient in the vehicle.  The door was removed and the patient was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

All units were up in about 45 minutes.

Early Sunday afternoon, May 6, 2012, the Bergenfield Fire Department was dispatched to a car fire in the parking lot of a North Washington Avenue business.  Chief of Department James Lodato responded to the alarm along with two engines, a ladder, and rescue.  Upon arrival Chief Lodato found a fire in the engine compartment of a vehicle which was being attacked by a citizen with a fire extinguisher.  Firefighters arrived and completed the extinguishment and overhaul before the vehicle was removed by tow truck. The fire was confined to the engine compartment and all units were able to clear the scene in just under twenty minutes without injury.
