ower 641 who was covering Wyckoff FD's tower ladder which was out of service for repairs, responded on the first alarm to a reported smoke coming from a home on Morley Drive. Tower 641 set up in front of the structure and the crews went to work on a vent of the home. Numerous towns responded to this call due to the temperatures in the 90's as Wyckoff Command kept fresh crews rotating in the structure. A good job by all involved.

Tower Ladder 641 responded to a working garage fire that extended into the home. The fire caused extensive damage to both the house and garage. Due to the high temperatures of the day, the fire escalated into a 4th alarm to keep firefighter fresh.

Rescue 642 and Engine 634 crews working in the high heat tonight to clean up the spilled fluids as the result of an MVC. Members placed speedi dry in the roadway and cleaned up the spill.

At the June business meeting of the Waldwick Fire Department, Christina Agugliaro and Ken Warr, Sr were voted in to a higher rank. Christina moved from a 1st Lieutenant position to 2nd Captain and Ken moved from 2nd Lieutenant to a 1st Lieutenant position. Both levels became available due to a recent resignation of an Fire Officer who moved from the area. We wish Christina and Ken the best of luck in their new positions.

On behalf of Chief Andy and President Tom , we would like to wish all our Waldwick Fire Department Moms a Happy Mother’s Day. There are no bounds to a mother’s love and affection shown on their child and her entire family. Mother and her love are quite beyond understandable. No poet in the world can ever place a mother’s love into words. She is an incredible woman that God has created for every human being in this world, She always showers her love, caring and affection towards her kids and families. No one in this world shows unconditional love except a mother. May we all enjoy our day with our Moms and if our Moms are not with us, let us remember them with a smile and keep them in our hearts.
