Ladder And Rescue To Englewood

Posted on April 9, 2012

At approximately 0053 hours, Mid-Bergen Mutual Aid requested a Bergenfield Ladder to respond to Englewood Fire Hq. to stand-by while they worked a fire at 35 Slocum Avenue.

Ladder 742 with a crew of six along with Deputy Chief Lopez responded on the run.  Shortly after their arrival in Englewood they were re-directed into the scene where they went to work.  Due to heavy fire conditions and a compermised interior all operations remained on the outside.

At 0130 hours, Rescue 746 was also requested to the scene in Englewood.  Captain Naylis and a crew of four responded on the run.  Upon their arrival in Englewood they remained in staging and were eventually put to work at the fire scene.

All units were back in the Borough in just of 3 1/2 hours.
