Firefighters Waiting for PSE&G to Cut Power

Tuesday, August 1, 2006

Montclair fire chief Kevin Allen confirmed to Baristanet that there is an underground fire, involving two manholes, on Church Street. They're waiting for PSE&G to cut power to the area in order to go in and fight the blaze.

One of the manholes is in front of the Siena construction site, and the other manhole is located underneath it.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only the Siena burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

If this works for The Sienna (these puppies aren't selling), can we expect the same thing next week at Crisco?

I hope everyone is okay.

Also, I'm so sorry to all of those people w/o power.

No wonder the traffic was such a mess around Glenridge Ave. and Forest, N. Fullerton and Claremont, including no working traffic light.

I just saw on the news that they are evacutating people without electricity from Montclair using Decamp busses. Kind of a bad news/bad news situation.
