Friday, September 11, 2009 - Tuesday Sept 1 Ramsey requested an Allendale engine to the scene of a working fire in their town. Engine 935 responded with 6 firefighters along with Chief 930. Crews assisted their Ramsey brothers for approximately 90 minutes.
On Sept 2, a fire alarm at Allendale Liquors required the intervention of Engine 932 and Ladder 941, along with Chief 930. Crews found that wine had dripped into an alarm head to be the cause. A report was taken and all units returned to quarters.
A resident on West Allendale reported a burning odor in her home, prompting the response of Allendale's Bravest on Sept. 4. Engines 932 and 935, Ladder 941 and Chief 930 all responded in on the box assignment. Crews performed an exhaustive search of the structure as well as surrounding properties and found no sign of fire. However a haze and strong burning odor persisted, and all units shifted their attention to the nearby industrial park where the haze and odor were strongest. Crews checked all area buildings and came up empty. All units were returned by 930 shortly thereafter.
A large fuel spill from an undetermined source on Forest Road on this date required approximately 30 bags of speedy dry and mutual aid assistance from Mahwah FD's HazMat team. Crews were on scene for 90 minutes cleaning up the mess.
