A single-family home was heavily damaged in a mid-afternoon blaze at 254 Euclid Ave. on February 12^th. 

RPFD units were dispatched at 2:30 PM and on arrival, a smoke condition was showing from the second floor . A working fire was transmitted. Hackensack, Teaneck, and Bogota assisted in the initial attack.  A second alarm was sounded as flames traveled the walls and broke out on the second floor on the A/B sides. An aggressive interior attack had to be halted as flames continued to spread and conditions deteriorated. A third alarm was called for as companies were removed from the structure. Heavy flames and smoke took possession of the second floor and attic. 

Outside streams knocked down most of the visible fire allowing members to re-enter. Crews were able to open up from the interior as well as from Truck 2’s aerial. The smoke condition slowly lessened and members began overhaul. The fire was placed under control a short time later with only exterior siding damage to an exposure building. No serious injuries to firefighters or residents were reported. The cause is under investigation.
