Council Members Offer Reward to Catch Park Fire Culprit

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information to catch and convict the individuals responsible for setting the Nov. 21 fire at Colorado Park.

Township Councilmen Jim Fozman and Domenick Brando are offering a combined $1,000 reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of the person or persons who set fire to the Colorado Park playground on Nov. 21.

Fozman announced a $500 reward at the Dec. 4 Township Council Meeting and Brando said immediately that he would match the reward. 

Brick Police said they were dispatched on Nov. 21 to a playground on fire at Colorado Park, at the end of Colorado Avenue.  Herbertsville Fire Station 24 responded and extinguished the fire.  Station 24 Fire Chief Mark Christensen said in a statement issued by Brick Police that the fire did not appear to start naturally and it has been deemed a suspicious fire.  No injuries were reported from the fire.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Ken Steinberg from the Brick Police Investigations Unit at 732-262-1120.

Brick PD needs to bring out the hammers again and settle the wild north of Herbys ville before we loose the whole town. Sta home Hollowman, this is a mission for men and not over thinkers.

Agreed John..The yellow tube was a hang out to smoke and drink and what ever else...I'm glad its gone..They need to have play fixtures that no one can hide in everything out in the open...

I am glad its gone. Called Brick PD several times to report illegal activity and got blown off. They used one excuse or another. They did what Brick PD could not.

At least they are trying to find out who did it. What are you doing??? If you live in Brick that was your Tax money that went up in smoke!

I agree with quiet time. Def consideration of my neighbors if they have a sleeping baby or back yardRead More party. We surely try to respect that.
KC June 19, 2013 at 04:55 pm
Funny Lelenore, I don't see that there are very many rules and regs. If it were elected it would notRead More be an infringement. I respect your opinion, but still feel six day time hours out of an entire week is not a lot to ask. If nothing else, would love to see a ban on gas leaf blowers. There are towns that have that in place. The mowers are not really IMHO that intrusive, but the leaf blowers and concrete cutters are another matter. Trouble is, people herebouts think they are in Montana and often are as you say, on 100 by 100 lots. What is the point of having all of this grass and trees if one never has the serenity about them to enjoy it? I think the ill effects of suburban noise pollution on health - blood pressure, aggression, release of the chemical cortisol etc. are well documented. Over a twenty five year period in time in Brick I find that this has become a real quality of life issue. At one point in my life I resided in mid town Manhattan and ya know what - being high up IT WAS QUIETER! Jackson? I don't think so. Doesn't Brielle have such an elective ordinance?

It was suppose to move next to the next liquor store behind Harbor Freight on Hooper.But,they neverRead More did.And when we pass it,it looks like they aren't even working on that side of the building.We miss that place for their deli dept.

They are waiting for the new store to get dirty and smell. It needs to be run down a little bit forRead More it to function properly.
can't say who June 19, 2013 at 05:44 pm
Right next to the liquor store. The reason it is taking so long is the politics of Acropolis andRead More Pat Botazzi. They kept the liquor store from opening for TWO years by controlling the planning board and caused the store owner HUNDREDS OF THOUSANS OF DOLLARES WITH COURT FIGHTS. Acropolis LOST THE COURT FIGHTS BUT CONTINUES TO BEAT UP ON THE LIQUOR STORE'S NEW TENNANT AS RETROBUTION Now Acropolis can play the code enforcement game and still get his happiness as a bigoted soon to be ex mayor and not a nice man. How about denying this. It is going to be a great store with the same owners and great food IF Acropolis doesn't have them go bankrupt due to him before they even open.

Looks good, but got sick as a dog from their food years back. Did I ever return? Nope.
