Now, residents of the Village of Fountainview are reeling from the temporary loss of their homes.Residents of the building say they are thankful no one was hurt, as cleanup is underway.
Crews were able to remove the broken pipe on Thursday morning. According to local officials, it was too dark Wednesday night for crews to properly search for the pipe break."I don't like to be moved out of my place, I like to stay in my place," said another resident, Pam Gately."She's very nervous," said Gately, referring to her dog.
"With the loss of the sprinkler system, there's no fire protection in the building as well," noted Lawrence Tan, the public information officer of the Aetna House in Newark. "So certainly, a part of this process is that a vendor has to come in and restore the sprinkler system."
