Glen Rock NJ, A defective/overheated bathroom exhaust fan was reportedly the cause of a multiple alarm house fire on Oxford Place in Glen Rock, Friday morning, 12/27. Glen Rock Fire Department was assisted in extinguishing the conflagration by fire personnel from numerous neighboring municipalities. At least one (1) firefighter was reported to have been injured fighting the blaze. The single family home sustained extensive fire, smoke, and water damage. Ridgewood Fire Department “A” Shift responded mutual aid to Glen Rock for the working attic fire. Glen Rock Police and Ridgewood Police also assisted .
And as ALWAYS the Ridgewood FD is there fighting the fire because we have a paid FD that is always on duty and all the surrounding towns get by with volunteers (when any are available). Now I am not saying that we shouldn’t help our neighbors, but come on people. We pay dearly for the privlege of having a fully paid fire department, which is an awesome benefit to living in this town. Why can’t our neighbors do the same?
