Details over the accident remain fuzzy ,but the Ridgewood blog was told the smell ,”was unbearable” . The photo from later in the day still shows the outline from the massive spill with Ridgewood Fire still in attendance.
Hopefully the rain last night washed away some of the residue .

Ridgewood NJ, the $50,000 Glen School Pickleball Courts are under utilized because of the hours and days imposed by the Village Council and the Village Manager. Mondays and Fridays these courts are locked. The hours that one can play is restricted to the hottest times of the day. Many of the residents are choosing to play at Wyckoff or Montvale at 8:00 AM. If you play Tennis in Ridgewood the courts are available 7 days a week. If you play Tennis you can play from 8 AM to dusk. We pay amount the same for our badges yet our days and times are NOT equal. We all pay taxes to live in this Village of Ridgewood. Yet, Pickleball players are not treated equally. Many of the players are senior citizens and have lived in town for many years. This discrimination is an embarrassment for the Village.
