Overview: During the Rochelle Park Town Council meeting, the primary topics of concern revolved around the administrative burden on the fire official and pressing safety issues at the local playground. The fire official, overwhelmed with administrative duties since his January appointment, has been unable to conduct field inspections, which are important for maintaining safety standards. This situation has contributed to a backlog of nearly 180 inspections since 2020. The council discussed the need for additional staffing to alleviate this workload. A proposal was made to hire a new fire inspector for eight to 16 hours a week to address this issue, which passed unanimously.
