Ridgewood emergency and public works vehicles will be ready for action along the Oak Street side of the park from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. as the local heroes who serve the Village also will be on hand to share their favorite tales about the exciting work they perform every day. As an added bonus, they’ll be a Safetytown Kiddie-Car Driving Track hosted by the Ridgewood Police Department and Little Ivy Learning Center. . . a special Truck Storytime hosted by the Ridgewood Public Library and more! Touch-a-Truck, a free event co-sponsored by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Ridgewood, is coordinated by Ridgewood’s Little Ivy Learning Center as part of its ongoing commitment to serve our community’s children and their families. We look forward to meeting your family on Touch-a-Truck Day!

Fire hydrant snow removal bill heads to Christie
February 23, 2015
the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Reader ” I pay tax’s for a paid fire dept and the should remove the snow around the hydrants, and in the spring and summer you all can repaint them too.”

Ridgewood NJ, So you think someone else is responsible for clearing the snow from your fire hydrant , guess again.  The New Jersey Assembly has just  passed a bill pushing for better snow removal around fire hydrants.

The measure would allow cities and towns to enforce stricter rules for people who have fire hydrants on their property calls for locator poles to be placed on every hydrant and requires the hydrants to be cleared of snow within 24 hours.

Reader , “The best way to stir up debate on this blog is to ask people to do something. It is guaranteed to get the “I pay taxes” crowd riled up. Community spirit? Nope! Entitlement? Yup! These people are how Ridgewood is viewed by others. Lazy, entitled snobs. Is that how you want Ridgewood to be seen? Clear the fire hydrants. Clear your sidewalks.”

Reader, “People are you kidding? i will bet you will be the first to bitch when your house burns down because the fd couldnt get to the fire hydrant because of your lazzy ass will not uncover a hydrant
