Fire Chief Michael Dingelstedt said the Township has procured the site for at least one training exercise before it is reduced to rubble.
"At my request, Mayor Deluca
spoke with the new owners of the PSE&G property about the possibility of
the FD conducting training exercises prior to demolition of the building," the chief said via email. "The
owners agreed and the township attorney is in the process of completing an
agreement for use to do so. This is similar to an arrangement we made with
Elite Properties for the use of a building when Maplewood Crossing was being
built on Burnett Ave."
He later added, "Training in a building such
as this affords the department the opportunity to conduct a variety of
evolutions that we would be unable to do in an occupied building."
We will update when the date is chosen.
