Our thanks to the Green Village, Summit, New Providence, Madison, Berkeley Heights, Stirling, Morris Township and Morris Plains Fire Departments along with the Parsippany Rescue and Recovery Unit that provided mutual aid. The New Vernon and Cedar Knolls Fire Departments provided station coverage while the CTVFD was at the scene.
