Fair Lawn NJ , Fair Lawn firefighters battled a 3-alarm fire at 139 Lincoln Avenue, Fair Lawn that was reported late Friday morning, 07/07. The fire was reportedly started when a high tension electric power line fell outside of a Valley National Bank branch and quickly ignited a gas line to the building’s basement. All bank employees and customers were believed to have been safely evacuated from the building by Fair Lawn PD prior to the arrival of FD units. Mutual aid (MA) assistance, on the scene and firehouse standby, was provided by several FD agencies from Central Bergen MA and Northwest Bergen MA associations. Fair Lawn EMS was also on the scene.
