Waldwick, N.J. — November 10 — Firefighters responded to a commercial structure fire on West Prospect Street after reports of smoke coming from the building.
The first-arriving units found a heavy smoke condition pushing from the front entrance. Waldwick firefighters from 64 Squad stretched a handline to the front door and began fire attack operations.
Chief Andrew Agugliaro arrived and requested a working fire assignment, bringing additional resources to the scene. Firefighters located a fire extending up an interior wall and quickly brought it under control.
The working fire assignment brought in mutual-aid companies from neighboring communities. Saddle River Rescue 1142 responded as the Firefighter Assistance and Search Team (FAST) unit. Franklin Lakes Fire Department Ladder 3, initially assigned to provide second-alarm coverage, was redirected to the scene while responding.
