Berkeley Heights, NJ - On 13 October, The Berkeley Heights Fire Department (BHFD) responded to several incidents throughout the day, beginning at 3:42 a.m. with a brush fire on Glenside Road caused by power lines knocked down by a falling tree during a storm. Later, firefighters were dispatched to Diamond Hill Road to extinguish a car fire following a motor vehicle collision.
