The first arriving Officer, Chief Witt, confirmed heavy smoke showing. Initial response was Engine Companies 3, 6, 7 and Rescue Co 3. After a size up, Command requested the Truck Co. for ventilation. Due to potential fire load and exposure issues, a 2nd Alarm was struck bringing in Newark FD’s RIT to the scene and Engine Co for fill-in along with a tanker from Oaks Corners, however Oaks Corners was canceled as the interior crews made a quick knock on the fire. The cause of the fire was determined to be accidental. No injuries were sustained.
