Edgewater's Avalon Fire Prepares NJ For 'Concrete Change' EDGEWATER, N.J. — A newly-released poll found that 95% of New Jersey voters support changes to construction codes in the wake of the 2015 Avalon complex fire in Edgewater.

The January 2015 fire “should serve as a catalyst for change to strengthen our building codes and fire prevention efforts," said state Rep. John Wisniewski, chairman of the Assembly's Fire Safety Commission. "We can’t wai…

Lyndhurst First Responders, Salon Owner Save Seizing Boy, 12 LYNDHURST, N.J. — One minute a 12-year-old Lyndhurst boy was slumped on the couch, his face blue. The next he was walking himself out of the township Police Emergency Squad’s rig. Had the squad not responded to the Tuesday afternoon call so promptly, Dolce Hair Design owner Nicole Scott said, things might have gone differently. “They responded so fast,” said Scott, who was in the middle of a customer touch-up when she heard chaos from in back of her shop. One of the children was yelling that her brother was having a seizure. “I told the receptionist to call 9-1-1,” Scott told Daily Voice.…

Labor Day 5K 'Rust-Buster' For Mahwah Marathoner MAHWAH, N.J. — Joe Singleton of Mahwah knew the routine and the course well. The 30-year-old marathon runner — who trains with Ridgewood-based RaceFaster — drove out to Glen Rock early Labor Day for the Glen Rock Jaycees' Arboretum 5K run, just as he did last year. Only difference was this year, he took second — not first.  "For where I am in my training and for what the purpose of this race was, I got out there and I competed and I’m happy with my race," said Singleton, who finished in 18:12. "I'm in marathon training and this race was just a rust-buster and a leg-turner.&…
Rutherford Rabbi Grows Congregation In Firebombed House Rutherford Rabbi Grows Congregation In Firebombed House Rutherford Rabbi Grows Congregation In Firebombed House
Rutherford Rabbi Grows Congregation In Firebombed House RUTHERFORD, N.J. — There's a yellow sign with a smiley face hanging in the window of Rutherford Rabbi Yitzchok Lerman's mansion-turned-synagogue. "Smile, you're on camera!" Look up and to the left and you'll see it. The sign doesn't defeat the purpose of the precautionary security camera, installed after a Lodi man later convicted of terrorism firebombed the house in 2012, the Congregation Beth-El rabbi says. Besides, it's not acts of violence that has Lerman worried these days: It's the house. "If we don't fix it, we're going to lose this place," said Lerman, who live…
