The Ridgewood Fire Department will lend one of its pumper trucks to the Borough of River Edge, which has had an equipment shortage ever since one of its vehicles was put out of commission for several weeks.
Village Council members on Wednesday approved a shared services agreement that will send a municipal fire engine to the River Edge Fire Department for a maximum of six weeks. The governing body in River Edge moved its resolution formalizing the agreement April 1.
“[River Edge has] a pumper truck that is going under major repairs and will be out of service. They did a search of municipalities that had an extra vehicle, and our old pumper truck will be able to meet their needs,” Village Manager Ken Gabbert said.

What do we get in return from River Edge?
they should give us some extra man power, we could use it.
I’m guessin that the next time we need a truck we can borrow one of theirs if they have an extra, our fd has had to borrow trucks before.
