December 28, 2025 — Cliffside Fire Department crews responded to a vehicle fire during a winter snowstorm late Sunday, operating under hazardous weather and roadway conditions. Firefighters arrived to find a vehicle fully involved, with flames and heavy smoke visible along the roadway as snow continued to fall. Crews quickly established a suppression operation, working cautiously on slick pavement while protecting nearby buildings and vehicles. The fire was brought under control without reported injuries, and firefighters remained on scene to ensure the area was safe and to address any lingering hazards caused by the weather and runoff. Officials reminded motorists to use extreme caution during winter storms, as snow and ice can increase the risk of vehicle incidents and complicate emergency response efforts.
