Firefighters Control Lucy Avenue Fire

A response from Teaneck firefighters prevented any major property damage during a fire at a Lucy Avenue garage Saturday afternoon, officials said. 

The fire was reported by neighbors just before 4 p.m. and the first engine was on the scene in two minutes, the fire department reported. Crews found smoke coming from the attic window of the garage. 

Two vehicles inside were removed without any damage, according to the report. There was limited access, slowing the work of fire crews. 

“Early and aggressive salvage tactics limited property damage along with the quick fire extinguishment," Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Weiss said.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, but was believed to be electrical, the report said. 

Firefighters from Ridgefield Park and Englewood stood by to cover other calls in the township. 

There were no injuries. 

“I hope all residents have a home escape plan in place and practice it regularly”, said Fire Chief Anthony Verley. “It can save your life.”
