The Maplewood Fire Department has made a habit of using soon-to-be demolished buildings for training purposes prior to their demolition.

Most recently they took over the former PSE&G building on Boyden Avenue before it was demolished to make way for 235 apartments.

Now comes word they will use the former Maplewood Village Post Office building that will soon be gone to make way for the controversial three-story housing/retail project there.

The Township revealed the news that it will begin today in this alert:
