Last evening, The Allendale Fire Department had multiple calls in the borough after the storm passed through.

This past weekend AFD was dispatched to a residence in the borough for an activated smoke detector, upon arrival crews were met with smoke inside the structure. Crews investigated and determined it was a shut flu in a fireplace causing the smoke to back into the house. Crews opened flu and vented the structure and ensured no smoke/carbon monoxide was present.

Another reminder that smoke detectors save lives! Please check all your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are in working order!

Looking to make a difference in your community? Stop by AFD any Thursday night from 7:30-9:30 and meet the members, maybe even join 😉🚒

Early this morning, AFD was dispatched to a residence in the borough for a reported CO alarm. Homeowner was sleeping and was alerted by their Carbon Monoxide detector going off. AFD responded within minutes to find approximately 50ppm of CO inside the home. Crews worked for hours along with PSE&G to vent and make the structure safe. Thankfully, no one was hospitalized. Please take this as an important reminder to check your Carbon Monoxide detectors and smoke alarms. It is recommended you replace both every 5-10 years. Smoke/Carbon Monoxide detectors save lives!
