“Around 5:30am, the department was dispatched to the Hilton Hotel for an activated fire alarm. First arriving units had high readings of Carbon Monoxide throughout the hotel. The entire hotel needed to be evacuated and ventilated, so a 2nd alarm was requested, along with the Bergen County fan unit to assist. Coverage was also set up at the firehouse, as the operation was going to be prolonged. It was determined by PSE&G that the carbon monoxide was caused by a malfunctioning boiler in the basement. Companies operated on scene for approximately 3 hours. Thank you to all the mutual aid that assisted on scene as well as covered the firehouse.”
