TEANECK, NJ - Quick work by Teaneck firefighters kept a bedroom fire from extending and causing additional damage on October 25th.

At about 11:40 P.M., units were dispatched to 1224 Sussex Road for a report of flames showing in a window on the second floor. The Battalion Chief arrived and confirmed a working fire and transmitted the second-alarm, bringing Hackensack and Englewood to the scene and others to cover the empty firehouses. A line was stretched through the front door as searches were made and windows vented.
