Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Backyard chickens are one step closer to coming to Collingswood (inquirer.com) — Collingswood officials just advanced an ordinance that would finally allow a limited number of licensed backyard hens in town after years of debate. The proposal includes training, inspections, strict limits on flock size, and a resident advisory board, with a final vote expected next month. Neighbors raised health and nuisance concerns, while supporters say the rules are tough enough to keep coops well managed.
• Collingswood Fire Department sounding alarm over firefighter shortage: "Something has to be done" (cbsnews.com) — Collingswood's fire department says chronic understaffing is stretching crews thin as they handle roughly 4,000 fire and EMS calls a year, raising concerns about response times and safety. Deputy Mayor Amy Henderson Riley is leaning toward privatizing EMS after an outside study recommended it, while union leaders and residents push for solutions that keep reliable emergency coverage in the borough.
