Ridgewood NJ, A large quantity of hydraulic fluid entered a storm drain in Ridgewood following an early morning motor vehicle crash on Thursday, 06/01. The liquid found its way to the nearby Ho-Ho-Kus Brook and flowed south into neighboring Glen Rock before being noticed by a woman walking her dog. Fire departments from Ridgewood, Glen Rock, and Fair Lawn, along with the Fair Lawn Heavy Rescue Squad’s HazMat unit, were dispatched to address the situation under the guidance of the Bergen County HazMat unit. A uniformed officer from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division also responded due to the proximity of the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook to a Bergen County Park in Glen Rock. Ridgewood PD and Glen Rock PD officers also assisted during the incident.
