After a quiet 7 day cooling off period, Allendale's Bravest was pressed into duty again for their services.

On Sept 30, a fire alarm activation at Brookside School was handled with 2 engines and the ladder company along with Chief 930.  No cause was found after an extensive search of the building. All units cleared after approximately 90 minutes of on-scene time.

A fire alarm at a residence on Myrtle Ave on Oct 1 was handled by Engine 935 and Capt 960.  A new heating system firing up for the first time was determined to be the culprit.  A report was taken while the system was taken out of service. All units returned to service a short time later.

Later on Oct 1 a resident on Cambridge Dr complained of a burning odor in their basement.  Engines 932 and 935, Ladder 941 and Chief 930 responded. Crews from the first-in engine deployed the thermal imaging camera and their gas meter as a precaution to find the cause of the odor. Halfway down the basement stairs the gas meter's alert system went bananas, receiving readings of well over 200 parts per million (ppm). Crews were ordered out of the house and to go on air before continuing their primary search. Command (Chief 930) requested PSE&G to respond to the scene. Upon completion of the search, crews reported readings of 430 ppm on their meter but no visible sign of smoke or fire. Electric fans were placed into service to vent the house before the PSE&G rep could begin his investigation. It was determined that the boiler was malfunctioning and a small gas leak from the hot water heater was the cause. All AFD units cleared after about 90 plus minutes.

During the evening of Oct 2, Mahwah Fire Dept requested an engine to standby at their Company 1 firehouse due to a working fire at the Doubletree Inn on Route 17.  Engine 935 with a crew of 8 responded for the assignment. No runs were logged during the hour-plus coverage.
