Your Hawthorne OEM members are in Atlantic City for a week of training. We pride ourselves on further developing our skills and knowledge to better serve our residents and assist our incredible first responders.

Last night, Hawthorne OEM coordinated another training for your First Responders.
This training was presented and taught by Operation Lifesaver a non-profit organization through the Federal Railway Administration (part of the USDOT).
The training consisted of rail safety, locomotive safety/operation, and rail car types. All of which was focused on first responder’s forcing entry, securing the train, working with Hazardous Materials, and coordinating with the engineers and conductors about the cargo.
Thank you to hawthornepublicschools for providing a space for us!

A HUGE thank you to all of our Hawthorne First Responders and DPW workers who were out all night and this morning cleaning the streets and sidewalks and responding to emergencies. We understand this storm was difficult and it was a constant game of “catch up”.
Your hard work does not go unnoticed!
Thank you to our residents who moved vehicles and gave us patience during this battle with Mother Nature. She put up a fight but we conquered!

As we all clear our walkways and driveways please try and locate buried fire hydrants and clear them the best you can. A 3x3 clearing is preferred but any attempt is appreciated.

Please please PLEASE do not push, plow, blow, or throw snow into the roadways. It causes major safety issues for motorists and first responders. Push all snow onto lawns or curb strips.
