From the Fair Haven Fire Department …
Starting yesterday at 2 PM and ending at 4:30 this morning the fire department and first aid squad responded to at least 13 incidents:
11 Wires Down or Carbon Monoxide Alarm Calls
2 EMS Calls
And as that storm rolled in, squad members were also practicing splinting femur fractures at their monthly drill.
Immediately after the storm …
The storm that ripped through Fair Haven Thursday night left downed wires and trees and some panic over a lack of 911 response.
After residents took to social media out of a sense of exasperation over where to turn, the borough’s Mayor Josh Halpern issued a statement citing that, among other things, residents should forego an apparently non-functioning 911 and go back to calling the original police station line at 732-747-0992 and pressing 0 for dispatch to report downed wires and other related emergencies.
More than 1.300 homes lost power and transformers were blown. The mayor said that with emergency services and JCP&L dispatched, work had begun as of 10 p.m. to stave off dangerous situations first and then begin restoration of electricity.
Here’s the official advisory …

Retro River Rats’ Rite of Summer Passage
Call it a ratty reprise ode to summertime …
Summers in the Rumson-Fair Haven area are rife with river-oriented activities that have become tradition.
River Rats’ sailing “camp” is no exception. OK, nobody was camping per se. It was more like a little club. Still is. In fact, it’s that time of the year when kids start signing up for summer River Rats fun. In fact, it’s that time — to sign up for the Rats season.
It’s been a sort of rite of living on the Navesink passage for decades — since 1955. Kids learn how to boat and do a lot of summer fun bonding in the process.
