Hawthorne NJ, Hawthorne Fire Department responded to a 911 telephone call report of a working fire inside of the 452 Lafayette Avenue, Hawthorne on Sunday morning, 01/28. Radio reports from Police units arriving at the scene reported that the church altar had caught fire, but was extinguished upon their arrival.
Fire Department personnel removed the still smoking altar from the building and used thermal imaging cameras to ensure that there had been no fire extending to the structure. Ventilation was also performed by Fire Department personnel. No injuries were reported by any of the church staff, nor by any member of the congregation. Hawthorne Police provided traffic control during the incident.
All completed with a great group of volunteers. Excellent job men.
And a dozen over paid and over pensioned Ridgewood dolts tended to a fender bender on Godwin ave. BRILLIANT.
