THE CALDWELLS, NJ — Do you know a kid (or are you a kid) who's fascinated by firetrucks, ambulances, dump trucks, construction vehicles, and did we mention firetrucks?

For the second year in a row, the West Caldwell Police Department will host an interactive "Touch a Truck" event in which families can enjoy and touch all sorts of trucks.

The event will also include music, ice cream, cotton candy, and more.
