Using a ladder from the Manville fire department, National Guard troops and a state trooper are rescued from hurricane Irene floodwaters on Main St. in Manville near Kennedy Blvd. after their trucks were overtaken by by the flood. The soldiers were attempting to rescue stranded town residents. (Tony Kurdzuk/The Star-Ledger)
