The Fairfield Fire Department issued the following Code Red message to residents at 11 a.m. on Sunday, May 19:
Metro North and MTA continue to work on clearing and repairing the tracks. We are waiting to hear how soon they can restore power and service to our Fairfield stations.
Commuters need to be prepared for a long commute on Monday. Please make alternate plans and please consider staying home if possible. I-95 is expected to be overloaded. Metro North may have some buses available but the only thing they have said so far is that they will not have enough to handle the 20,000 passengers that travel this section of the line.
We are making plans for a busy and chaotic Monday commute at our three train stations. Everyone attempting to use the rail lines will need to be patient as we work through these difficulties. As soon as we hear from Metro North, we can finalize our local plans. Please stay tuned to local media, our website and this Facebook page.
Let’s please keep the injured in our thoughts and prayers and ask for a speedy recovery.
Thank you for your understanding and your patience as we work through this together.
