Dear Montclair Township,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Open Public Records Act reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Montclair Township's handling of my OPRA request 'Fire investigations'.

I have been attempting to reply to the email but it continuously gets rejected. Mrs. Cruz from the Fire Department was requesting a phone call in regards to the request. I am unavailable to contact during normal business hours and email is the best contact. I will reply to any email when I am available. Please forward this message along to Mrs. Cruz so that the request can be fulfilled. Thank you.

A full history of my OPRA request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://opramachine.com/request/fire_inv...

John S

Fire Department - The large volume of material you are
requesting, ongoing investigations, staff shortages, and
review of the requested material for release have caused
delays with release. Due to the number of photos (couple
hundred), we need to reconfirm that you want all the photos
that come with the fire investigation reports or just the
reports. Please note, if we are unsuccessful in uploading the

Denise Cruz, Montclair Township

Good morning,

 

I apologize for the delay in response.  I was out on vacation last week. 
Your email is being reviewed for a response.  To clarify, to be sure the
fire department is getting you what was requested, your OPRA request seems
to stipulate all fire reports from fires that were investigated.  Are you
in fact looking for all fire reports whether investigated or not?

 

1- A list of all fires investigated by the Montclair Fire Department from
01/01/2023 - 12/31/2023.

2- All fire incident reports and investigation reports for all fires
investigated by the Montclair Fire Department from

01/01/2023 - 12/21/2023.

Thank you.

Dear Denise Cruz,

No problem. Yes, my request was for a list of all fires investigated by the Montclair Fire Department from 01/01/2023 to 12/31/2023. No list has been provided, only 10 incident reports with the investigation for cause/origin.

The additional reports and investigations requested for the five incidents listed above were involving structures where an investigation into cause/origin should have been conducted. In fact, all of those incidents are reported in the media as “the cause of the fire is under investigation by MFD Investigators”. Are you reporting that those 5 fires were not investigated as indicated?

Yours sincerely,

John S

Denise Cruz, Montclair Township

Thank you for clarifying. So sorry, the list was an oversight. I see it is not attached. One will be provided. The other information is being reviewed for response.

Regards,

Denise

Dear Denise Cruz,

Thank you. I received four additional investigation reports: 5 N Fullerton Avenue (twice), 578 Bloomfield Avenue and 29 Willow St. I am still missing the investigation reports from a fire at Police Headquarters on or about 04/13/23 and a fire in a Glenridge Ave apartment building on or about 11/21/23. I believe the request will be satisfied once those reports are provided. Thanks again.
