A message was sent to you regarding record request #23-529:
Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7)
business days to fulfill because of limited or no access to
the computer software and/or drive that holds the
record. OPRA allows custodians to seek extensions of time
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i. Specifically, OPRA states
that, “the requestor shall be advised by the custodian when
the record can be made available. If the record is not made
available by that time, access shall be deemed denied.”
Your request due date has been updated in the portal to
reflect the anticipated date when records will be made
available to you.

Looks like this OPRA was closed but the Fire Department had
not responded. Noticed today in review of open and closed
Fire Department OPRAs. We are attaching a copy of the fire
report. The fire investigation report was lost during the
cyber attack on the Township so we no longer have access to
this record.
