Shortly after midnight on March 5, 2014, Ringwood Fire Departments were dispatched to a Cupsaw Drive home on multiple 911 reports of a structure fire. First arriving Fire Chief 240 from Erskine Lakes Fire Company confirmed a working structure fire with heavy fire showing from the B side of the home and requested a second alarm assignment. All Ringwood Fire apparatus were brought to the scene and mutual aid was brought in from Wanaque, West Milford, and Tuexdo, NY for assistance at the scene and firehouse coverage. The fire was placed under control within approximately 45 minutes of dispatch. Units remained on scene until about 3:15 AM to conduct overhaul and extinguish any remaining hot spots. There were no injuries to any of the residents or emergency personnel on scene.

Issuance Date: February 25, 2014

Subject: Bomb Threat

Issuing Authority: DSgt Paul Rothlauf

Location and Date of Incident: Martin J. Ryerson Middle School, Valley Road, Ringwood, New Jersey.



On February 25, 2014 at about 11:17 am, the Ringwood Police Department was notified that there was a threat of a bomb in the school. Ringwood Police officers were immediately dispatched to the scene. Officers secured the scene and assisted the school officials while they safely evacuated the children onto buses. The children were then transported to another school.

An investigation was conducted by the Ringwood Police Department and the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office, and it was determined that a juvenile student posted the threat on a wall in a bathroom. The parents took custody of the juvenile and the case has been referred to the Passaic County Family Court for a hearing. 

The Passaic County Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene using K-9s to search the school. 

The name and identifying information of the juvenile will not be released because of the child’s age.

The Ringwood Police along with the Ringwood School District take this type of incident very seriously and put great effort into making sure that all of the children were moved and transported safely to another school. Parents whose children were affected by the incident were notified using the school notification system.

At approximately 11:30 PM this past evening, members of the Ringwood Fire Departments were requested for a mutual aid Engine to stand-by in Little Falls for a multiple alarm fire at a Chemical Warehouse in Paterson. Members from all 3 departments combined into Engine 241 and arrived at Little Falls Fire Company 1 a short time later. After about an hour and a half of standing by, Ringwood Fire was released by the fire coordinator and all returned home safety around 2 AM. At the time of this post, the fire is still burning in Paterson but good progress is being made.
