Dear Summit City,

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.

Records requested:

All fire incident and investigative reports, including any fire marshal/chief reports for the fatal motor vehicle accident which occurred on March 28, 2023 at approximately 12:28pm on Interstate 78 East at approximately mile post 50.40. This incident involved a dump truck and tractor trailer which caught fire.

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,

Stephanie Ralston
