This past week, the Livingston Fire Department (LFD) responded to a number of calls, including multiple downed wires, fire alarm transmissions, and a potential gas leak.
Wires
A large tree fell across Brandon Avenue last Thursday, March 7. It took down primary wires and caused a utility pole to snap, damaging a transformer. PSE&G were on the scene to assist.
This past Monday, March 11, a large tree fell near 32 Sterling Drive. It brought down wires and primaries. The road was blocked, PSE&G was advised and immediately responded. PSE&G capped off wires and restored partial service to the area. Department of Public Works was on the scene, removing the tree, while the Livingston Police Department stood by.
Mutual Aid Request
On Sunday, March 10, LFD received a request for an engine to standby at Orange Fire Department headquarters, as their engines were working at a structural fire.
