Fair Lawn NJ, Personnel from Fair Lawn Fire Truck Company #1 and Fair Lawn FD Engine Company #3 assisted a family of Edward Street, Fair Lawn by retrieving a portable gazebo that had blown up onto the roof of their single family home during a Tuesday afternoon, 10/24 rain/wind storm, and become entangled in the structure’s chimney. No injuries were reported in the mishap and the chimney sustained cosmetic damage only. However, the portable gazebo appeared to have been destroyed.
Christ, I’ve seen this happen multiple times in person. Portable gazebos need to be stored whenever bad weather hits the area, either that or you’re better off going with a hefty, hardtop unit.
