Christian Bollwage. “The City thanks Congressman Menendez as well as Senators Menendez and Booker for their diligent follow up as well as the numerous visits by FEMA personnel assisting our City.” The remnants of Hurricane Ida caused severe damage to Elizabeth’s Fire Department Headquarters, flooding the building with up to five feet of water and extensively damaging portions of the facility. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
