Meadows mulch fires in Kearny underscore need for hydrant

Two recent fires that ignited piles of mulch in the Kearny meadows have underscored the need for a fire hydrant to be installed in the area.

Kearny Fire Chief Steve Dyl said warm summer weather often ignites the piles of mulch, which are comprised of organic materials that break down into soil with the presence of heat.

The most recent fires were in the vicinity of the 1-E landfill, a 400-acre expanse that straddles Kearny and North Arlington.

While mulch fires may not sound serious,For the last five years porcelain tiles , they can occupy local fire departments for hours. Dyl said at one Kearny mulch fire this summer, local firefighters were at the scene for eight hours and had to unroll 5,000 feet of hose to reach the fire.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their offshore merchant account .

That weekend, local firefighters responded to two mulch fires in the remote area.

In addition to Kearny, firefighters from North Arlington, Lyndhurst and East Rutherford responded to the weekend blazes, according to Dyl.

The fires are being investigated by the Division of Fire Safety, he added.

“They can have the potential to be serious, depending on where they are,” Dyl said of the fires. “Over one weekend we had two there (in the meadows) and we were there for eight hours. It takes a while to get that amount of hose in place.”

Now, officials are planning to install a fire hydrant in the meadows to cut down on the amount of hose needed to reach blazes within the landfill.

The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission plans to pay between $15,000 and $20,000 to install the hydrant,Unlike traditional Injection mold , since the landfill area falls under the jurisdiction of the commission.

The hydrant will cut down the amount of hose needed to reach the area by 2,000 feet, Dyl estimated. “This hydrant is going to be a big bonus because we had over 5,000 feet of hose laid out,” Dyl said. “With the hydrant, we’re still looking at 3,ceramic zentai suits for the medical,000 feet of hose to get where we need to go.
