Big excitement at the corner of Maolis and Thomas in Bloomfield... A water main broke sometime early this morning, causing some minor flooding on the street. Sometime after 7am, a school bus driving down Maolis got its front tire stuck in a hole in the street. It stayed there for about 45 minutes until a tow truck finally pulled it free. As of right now (just about 8am) the water has finally stopped flowing from under the street, and town workers have begun to repair the break. Police have closed off Maolis just past Thomas because of the work. News choppers from all the major NYC networks have been hovering overhead all morning.
