The Haledon Fire Prevention Bureau is requesting that all residents use extreme caution when using outdoor cooking appliances, grills, and legal fire pits. This is due to the recent dry conditions and windy conditions causing numerous fires. We recommend that you wet down the area around where these devices are going to be used and to keep a water source close by. Also,  never leave the fire unattended. Any questions residents can contact Michael Moscatello Fire Official at 973-595-7766 ext. 135.
