Fanwood sustained extensive damage and power outages from last night’s severe storm. Multiple streets remain blocked off due to downed trees and wires. As of this morning, 1,296 homes in the Borough and 25,000 in Union County are without power. PSEG is working on restoration.
Starting at 11:00 am, the Forest Road Park building will be available as a cooling and charging center for those residents who need it.
Traffic lights are out on Martine Avenue. Drivers should use Terrill Road if possible. Please exercise caution on roadways and do not approach downed wires as they may be live.
