There was NO Princeton Hurricane Fatality

Gov. Chris Christie reported that a Princeton firefighter succumbed to injuries sustained in an early morning water rescue, but his office has since confirmed that the rescue worker who was taken to the hospital after an early morning water rescue is in critical condition, not dead. 

"Gov. Christie should have checked with the Princeton Fire Chief first," said Fire Chief Dan Tomalin on Sunday, moments after Christie's press conference. 

Princeton Township Police Sgt. Michael Cifelli told Princeton Patch that a member of the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad was swept up in flooding during the water rescue was still in critical condition. 

We will post more details as they become available.
