Water leak in apartment leads to locked basement access, North Arlington NJ
Other Non-Crime EventFirefighters responded to a water leak caused by a burst kitchen faucet in an apartment above a commercial building. The leak could not be stopped from inside the apartment, so they tried to access the locked basement to shut off the water supply. The basement door was securely locked and the building superintendent was not available.
