Morristown Firehouse to Open as Warming Center Tuesday Night
Plunging temperatures could be cause for concern for those without heat in Morristown.
Winter has yet to arrive and November is barely halfway over, but a polar vortex is swinging its way through much of the nation, forcing temperatures to plunge.
Because of that, Morristown Mayor Tim Dougherty has announced the Morristown Firehouse will be open as a warming center Tuesday night into Wednesday morning for those who need it.
The fire house is located at 161 Speedwell Avenue, and will be available from 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18 to 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
