Hillsdale Accepts Emergency Equipment

The Hillsdale Council passed two ordinances during their meeting this week to accept donated emergency equipment.

The council voted 5-1 to accept a 1989 Ford Econoline ambulance for the Hillsdale Fire Department to use as a rehabilitation area and for equipment storage and transportation. The ambulance wad donated by River Vale and the Pascack Valley Fireman's Association.

They also voted unanimously to accept a 2005 Gulf Stream Coach Trailer donated by the Roselle Park Police Department. The trailer will be used by the borough's Office of Emergency Management as a mobile command post for dangerous weather and other crises.
