Drill Night: engine company ops

A little rain doesn’t stop us from responding to emergencies, so it won’t stop us from training! For this week’s drill we worked on engine company ops. Our junior and probationary firefighters worked on hose line advancementwhile the more experienced members worked with master streams and practiced pump operations. These fundamental skills remain critical to our operations regardless of weather conditions. After drill, we enjoyed a meal that was graciously donated by one of Mahwah’s newest businesses, Stella Nails and Spa. We welcome you to the Township and sincerely appreciate your generous donation. @stellanailsnspa Photos/videos may not be used or reproduced for any reason without express permission.

Sheraton Hotel Demolition

Early this morning, Engine 115 with a full crew stood by to watch the 37 year history of the Sheraton Hotel come to an end. Demolition crews successfully imploded the 250 foot tall, 25 story hotel. Over the years, we have responded to countless incidents ranging from alarms, fires, elevator rescues, and cars off the parking garage. Safe to say, this will be 115’s last response to the Hi-Rise! photo credit: @chris.konash and @cbs.fire.photography
