SCOTCH PLAINS/FANWOOD, NJ — The Scotch Plains Municipal Building has been set up as a warming center for Fanwood and Scotch Plains residents due to the blizzard and very low temperatures.

The center was set up by the Fanwood Police Department and the Scotch Plains Police Department and will continue to run as such through Sunday.

"Prior to seeking relief please contact the Fanwood Police Department who will make all of the necessary arrangements for you and your family," Fanwood Police Chief Richard Trigo said.
