Jersey City rolls out the red carpet for developers downtown and along the waterfront. Perhaps some attention could be directed towards reopening a firehouse that serves long-time residents. Many of these homes are wood frame structures. Response time is crucial and every minute matters when saving lives and extinguishing fires. Our brave firefighters and the residents of the city deserve nothing but the best resources.
EMILY supported: Reopen Engine 10 Ladder 12 Firehouse at 283 Halladay Street ImmediatelyThe Communipaw neighborhood is at a high risk for house fires that can quickly spread, threatening the health, safety, and housing of thousands of families.
The Communipaw neighborhood includes entire blocks made up of wood-frame homes that not only catch fire quickly but also share a cockloft attic that allows fires to spread faster.
In the last three years alone, the neighborhood has experienced at least three house fires that spread to multiple buildings, leaving far too many families displaced and without a home.
With climate change making droughts and extreme winds all the more frequent, the city should be taking steps to cut down response times in a high risk neighborhood.
The JCFD does truly incredible work and deserve all the praise in the world; the only thing that could make them better — and our neighbors safer — is if they could get to house fires faster, and that requires a firehouse in our neighborhood.
Louis supported: Reopen Engine 10 Ladder 12 Firehouse at 283 Halladay Street ImmediatelyEngine 10 & Ladder 12 have been a pillar of support for the neighborhood. The security that was appreciated when you could knock on the door and get help. Their absence delays the quick response of fire apparatus in this area. The increased traffic flow for downtown & New York commuters slows response time for other Fire apparatus covering the area from some distance away.
Gene supported: Reopen Engine 10 Ladder 12 Firehouse at 283 Halladay Street ImmediatelyThis fire department location should be reopened for the children in the area as well as the school that is right down the block as working for Jersey city I’ve seen response times there is a window where it would take 20 minutes or more for the department, DO IT FOR ALL THE FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY
