Ridgewood NJ, A smoky fire in an underground electric vault on East Ridgewood Avenue near Starbucks resulted in the closure of East Ridgewood Avenue between Walnut Street and Cottage Place on Thursday night.  PSE&G personnel arrived shortly after 10:30 PM to facilitate repairs.

Ridgewood PD and FD responded.  No power outages were reported in the area, but Starbucks was evacuated and closed early due to smoke entering their basement through an underground conduit.
