Matawan's New Ladder Truck Performs Roof Rescue Drill

The Matawan Fire Department and the Matawan Police Advanced Services unit used the borough's new ladder truck Tuesday to perform a roof rescue demonstration during National Night Out.

The event was hosted at the police station on Main Street as part of a nationwide initiative designed to fight crime by fostering relationships between the community and the police department as well as encouraging neighborliness.

Attendees also enjoyed the Kidz On The Go playhouse, climbing through fire trucks and meeting police officers and emergency responders.
