3rd Alarm – Kinderkamack Road

On Tuesday around 18:00 hours, the fire department was dispatched to the 200 block of Kinderkamack Road for a reported house fire which was quickly confirmed by Oradell Police, who also advised of an occupant possibly trapped inside.

Oradell Squad 22 was the first arriving unit, secured a water supply and stretched an initial attack line to the front of the structure to begin knocking down the fire.  River Edge Ladder 1 arrived on-scene shortly after (already out on another alarm) and quickly worked to get a ground ladder around the rear of the building where a trapped occupant was reported to be located.  Members of Squad 22 and Ladder 1 were able to successfully remove the trapped occupant from a roof in the rear of the building.

Several mutual aid companies operated on-scene to bring the fire under control within two hours.

Working Fire – Demarest Ave

The fire department was alerted late Sunday night of reported structure fire in the 300 block of Demarest Avenue.  Car 20 arrived first on-scene, reported smoke showing from an attached garage and requested the “working fire dispatch” bringing additional mutual aid units to the scene and to cover our firehouse.  Squad 22 deployed the first attack line to quickly knock down the bulk of the fire.  Extensive overhaul was performed to check for any fire spread.  Units operated on-scene for about two hours.
