Engine 4 responded to five of those calls, one of which being multiple vehicles in the water on McBride Ave with people reportedly trapped. Luckily, upon further investigation, nobody was inside the vehicle. Squad 1 assisted up the street with another vehicle and removed 1 occupant from his roof.
Engine 4 also responded to: an odor of burning in a residence on Rutgers Ter, a down wire on Sandford Rd, a tree down in the roadway on Fair Lawn Ave at Elmary Pl, and a fire alarm on Nevins Rd.
