Fire Department Helps Residents Cool Off at Roselle Park Community Cooldown Event

ROSELLE PARK, NJ — The second Roselle Park Community Cooldown in as many weeks drew a massive crowd to the Department of Public Works, as residents did their best to beat the oppressive heat. The event saw the Roselle Park fire department lend a helping hand, spraying hundreds of gallons of water from their engine and ladder apparatuses into the air, granting residents a much-needed reprieve from the sweltering weather.

The event could not have come at a better time, as the day saw blistering highs of 99°F. The fire department did their best to combat the heat, providing multiple massive streams of water and even a sprinkler for participants to run through. It offered a tremendous opportunity for the fire department to connect with the community that they serve.
