Dear Palisades Park Borough,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

Please provide copies of the following government records regarding the Palisades Park Fire Department
1. Incident/Run Reports (September 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2024)
I request copies of all Fire Department Run Sheets, NFIRS Incident Reports, and Apparatus Response Logs for calls occurring within the following specific parameters:
• Days of Week: Monday through Friday only.
• Time of Call: Between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM
• Content: These records must include the section listing the names of all members/personnel who staffed the apparatus or attended the call, and all Chiefs that responded.
2. Member Attendance/Percentage Statistics (2023 & 2024)
I request the Year-End Attendance Reports, Point Sheets, or official activity summaries that document the yearly percentages or call attendance ratios for all Fire Department members for the calendar years 2022 and 2024.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Lisa Hartford
