Metuchen, N.J — September 17 — At 5:21 p.m. on September 17th, the Metuchen Fire Company was dispatched to assist an artist who was painting a new mural in the downtown area. With daylight failing and a storm approaching, additional lighting was essential to allow work to proceed safely.

Firefighters responded by installing department-grade lighting equipment in the mural area. This allowed the artist to continue working on the project despite the approaching weather. The lights also contributed to a safe setting for both the artist and the public in the bustling downtown area.
