Please be safe and check on your elderly neighbors.

Heat Advisory☀️

It’s going to be hot out there today! When humidities and temperatures are high we may also see a few thunderstorms pop up in the afternoon and evening (between 3PM and 8 PM). Keep a check of the weather especially if you have outdoor activities planned.

• There is a Heat Advisory posted until 8 PM today. Mid-to late afternoon hours are the times for highest heat index potential (over 100).
• There is an Air Quality Alert posted today for Mercer and Burlington Counties. Combined with the Heat Advisory, that creates dangerous conditions for people at risk (elderly, children, heart/lung issues, etc.) and people who work outdoors.

WHAT TO DO NOW: Prepare
• Find places in your community where you can go to get cool.
• Keep your home cool by doing the following:
o Cover windows with drapes or shades.
o Weather-strip doors and windows.
o Use window reflectors, such as aluminum foil-covered cardboard, to reflect heat back outside.
o Add insulation to keep the heat out.
o Use attic fans to clear hot air.
o Install window air conditioners and insulate around them.
• Learn to recognize the signs of heat-related illness.

WHAT TO DO DURING: Be Safe
• NEVER leave a child, adult, or animal alone inside a vehicle on a warm day.
• Find places with air conditioning. Libraries, shopping malls, and community centers can provide a cool place to take a break from the heat.
• If you’re outside, find shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect your face.
• Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. If you or someone you care for is on a special diet, ask a doctor how best to accommodate it.
• Do not use electric fans when the temperature outside is more than 95 degrees, as this could increase the risk of heat-related illness. Fans create air flow and a false sense of comfort, but do not reduce body temperature.
• Avoid high-energy activities.
• Check yourself, family members, and neighbors for signs of heat-related illness.
• Pets need to stay hydrated too! Be sure to keep them cool.

NJSP Loses Trooper in Tragic Accident

West Trenton, N.J. - The New Jersey State Police family is mourning the death of one of our troopers who died overnight from injuries sustained in the line of duty.

Around 8:15 p.m. Monday, Trooper Sean Cullen, 31, had responded to the scene of a crash on southbound 295, milepost 23.4 in Deptford Township. Tpr. Cullen was walking near that crash where there was an active car fire and several fire and police vehicles with emergency lights on when a vehicle struck him as it was passing the scene. The 22 year old woman who was driving stopped immediately. She cooperated with State Police investigators.

Tpr. Cullen sustained severe injuries to his head and was airlifted to Cooper hospital in Camden.

His family members and numerous troopers and law enforcement personnel from several different agencies held vigil late into the night at the hospital. Doctors pronounced him deceased shortly after 12:30 a.m. Colonel Rick Fuentes broke the news to those gathered in a waiting room.

Tpr. Cullen was a member of the 154th State Police Class. He was stationed at Bellmawr Station and had been a trooper about two years.

The investigation into the crash is still ongoing. There have been no charges or tickets against the driver that struck Tpr. Cullen. Further information will be released as it becomes available.
