The blaze was reported Monday afternoon on Sagamore Avenue, officials said.
EDISON, NJ - A ‘fully involved’ structure fire threatened an Edison home Monday afternoon, fire officials said.
Shortly after 4 p.m., members of the local Edison firefighters’ Union C shift responded to the structure fire at a home at 83 Sagamore Avenue, union members said in a statement.
A fully involved structure fire means the heat and smoke in a fire are so widespread that the inside of the structure can’t be accessed until fire streams are used, according to Chicago Fire Department’s firefighting glossary.
