Multi-Alarm House Fire Rages In Mahwah: Authorities

MAHWAH, NJ — A fully involved house fire far off of the roadway Thursday in Mahwah required a three-alarm response from several nearby mutual aid departments, authorities said. No one was seriously injured.

Heavy fire, responding departments said, was coming out of the first and second floors and extending to the attic of the large, two-and-a-half-story house. Eventually, the fire damaged and ripped open the roof.

Firefighters battled the blaze from outside the structure, and then made an interior attack, authorities said.

"Our township owes a debt of gratitude to everyone who responded to this incident," Mahwah Mayor James Wysocki said in a Facebook post. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of the house."
