Requesting fire/police reports for an origin and cause fire investigation
Dear Lebanon Township,
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-5(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: All reports, photos and videos related to the fire that occurred at 1274 State Route 31 Lebanon, NJ 08833 on March 5, 2026. Please include police reports, fire investigation reports, NIFRS, any permits and inspection records connected to 1274 State Route 31 Lebanon, NJ 08833. If any additional information is required, please contact me.
