During this evening’s slow-moving severe thunderstorm, members of the Bergenfield Fire Department responded to numerous calls for flooded homes and vehicles stranded in high water. In some locations, firefighters found basements with several feet of floodwater.

Four members specially trained in Swift Water Rescue were deployed to check homes and vehicles impacted by the flooding, helping ensure that no occupants were trapped or in need of assistance.

We urge all motorists to never drive through flooded roadways. Remember the saying: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” It only takes a small amount of moving water to sweep a vehicle off the road, and conditions beneath the water are often impossible to see.

Unfortunately, flooding in Bergenfield is not new, especially during torrential rain events like those we experienced tonight and last week. Recognizing this growing challenge, the Bergenfield Fire Department has expanded its capabilities over the past few years. In addition to traditional firefighting training, several members have completed Swift Water Rescue training, and the department has invested in specialized rescue equipment to better respond to urban flooding.

While these improvements are an important step forward, our work is not finished. We remain committed to training additional members and continuing to enhance our equipment so we can safely and effectively respond to the increasing number of flooding emergencies affecting our community.
