Fanwood Plows Are Working To Keep Roads Clear

FANWOOD, NJ — Fanwood Police Chief is reminding residents that Fanwood is under a state of emergency and people should stay off the roads including non-essential state employees.

CLOSURES

• Fanwood Borough Hall closed
• All SP-F Schools are CLOSED. For updates on school closures, visit www.spfk12.org
• Union County courts are closed
• Union County paratransit is cancelled

REMINDERS

• Residents should ensure that they do not shovel or blow their snow back into the roadway after it has been plowed as it creates a hazardous condition.
• Borough Code 259-22 states that residents shall remove all snow and ice from any sidewalk in front of their property within 12 hours of daylight after the snow has fallen or formed.
• Cars must be parked out of the street so the plows can effectively do their jobs.
• Please check on elderly neighbors or those with special needs that may require assistance during the storm.
• To report downed wires or power outages, call PSE&G’s Customer Service line at 1-800-436-7734.

SAFETY REMINDER

Wind and/or the accumulation of ice may weigh down power lines and as a result, cause power lines to come down. Downed wires may appear dead but should always be considered “live.” STAY AWAY FROM ALL DOWNED LINES. Do not approach or drive over a downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with.
