Long Hill Fire Department longhillfd.com At 23:39 hours on Nov. 12, the Long Hill Fire Department responded to Madison Avenue to investigate a report of flooding conditions in the roadway. Firefighters arrived on scene and found high levels of water on multiple streets. Crews checked multiple houses for any possible hazards from the rising water levels. Firefighters, assisted by town highway workers, pulled storm grate covers off that were getting clogged by leaves and not draining properly. Crews from the water company had to shut off water to the area so the water main break could be found and repaired. Crews were on scene for an extended period throughout the night monitoring the situation. After more than three hours, the water levels receded and the situation was placed under control. The area was closed off until the water main break could be repaired by the water company. Units were released to return back to their stations.

Crews arrived on scene and began to investigate the situation by metering the structure. Firefighters were checking for any possible hazards or elevated readings.
