Fire Department training at the former post office

The Maplewood Fire Department will be conducting training drills at the former post office building. Fire trucks will be parked at the site and you may see firefighters wearing full gear in the building and around the site. Demolition of the building will begin by mid-March.


the township notice indicates this taking place on March 24. Is that a typo?


I saw a fire engine pulling into the space when I was in the village earlier this afternoon.  Have they started the training?


township just sent a correction  date is today  

What do they actually do in these training sessions?

...and why is it such interest to us that the Vic posted about it?


If I saw Fire Department activity at a large, vacant building, I might wonder what was up.


Finally adaptive reuse.

They get a head start on demolition with their axes.

Gee I have been reading that OhNo does not want to let the matter drop

Guess it works both ways


I heard from the OhWow80 people that the town is doubling the height of the building and is making South Orange pay for it.

yes.  sorry, but the "Oh No" name has always amused me, and I'm not ready to give it up yet. I picture a bunch of people looking like this:

They were but were deterred by the current asbestos situation.  Bad timing

It will take a year or two or destruction,  construction and PR explaining to the merchants in town that this

is all for their own good.

yes.  that sounds like the thinking of someone with an open mind.

what are the odds that when it's built, your objective conclusion will be that you don't like it?

Well I did not like the specs that were published but that can still be not as bad as I thought

I also did not like Gerald Ford but further reading and applying objective standards proved me wrong


Welcome back, author. Does this mean your operation went okay, or did i miss some important news?

Yes operation went well but a few minor side effect

Had a series of minor computer problems and  of all things my computer was hacked from outside the country.   Yahoo Tech Service was unable to free it up and I had to pay a private company 200 dollars to remove the unwanted visitor and regain full control of my machine

The price of fame
